Dual Monitors

[TheRealPieFace]

Alright... So I have a DYNEX 21 inch HD TV conected up to my MBP via the VGA connection route.
My problem is that when I want a program (or more specifically in this case a game) to go into fullscreen mode it automatically goes to my primary monitor and turns the other screen black. I know I can switch the primary monitor from my actual laptop screen to the TV however I just want the game to be full screen on the TV while still having access to my dock and everything on my laptop.
Is there any way to do this?

The only way to do that is if there is a setting to play the game in a window, then you can drag it to the other screen and maximize it

Is it not possible to set the external monitor as a primary display and leave the laptop screen as the secondary display? The dock would be on the external display, but you would have access to regular (non-gaming) computing on your laptop screen.
