Just installed and tried this on Youtube. "Play Flash" works, but "Stop Flash" doesn't :-(

problem at telegraph.co.uk, replied by varanasi

Here's the deal. The telegraph page uses an iframe (remember the old framed websites? This is a newer, floating version.) The iframe imports a different webpage from a different site: brightcove. The greasemonkey exclude works by url, so when you exclude the telegraph page, all the content from telegraph is not run through BlockFlash2. That's what we want. The problem is that the brightcove content is not excluded so BlockFlash2 goes to work on that. One could exclude brightcove, but brightcove provides mucho flash content on the web, and excluding it would vitiate part of the BlockFlash goodness because brightcove would be excluded across the web not just from the telegraph site.

Now this is a curious one! Let me work on this a bit. Thanks!

BTW, the stuff at the link is fascinating. Some of those stories . . . !

Hmmm. Good idea. Probably not an image but perhaps a text greater than?

[Sorry it took so long for me to get to this.]

Why not use a play button like flashblock does instead of using text: "[Play Flash]"?

example

Britain at War: Readers' Memories

If I put...
http://*.telegraph.co.uk/*
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/*
...as excludes - blockflash still blocks the flash and replaces it with the "[Play Flash]" div.

Hmmmm. Well, I the @fullname parameter, but something tells me that's not going to fix the problem. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

I just installed it a few minutes ago (Firefox 3.5.2) and the title was "45343"

Put the following description (unless you have a better one) on this page under the UserScripts section:

You can use [[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/45343|BlockFlash2]] as a user script which "Replaces" Flash individual flash elements with a button that says [Play Flash].

I can't edit what I already did :S

You won't believe this... you support WebKit :D
Congratulations!!!

tested on Midori/0.1.7 (X11; Linux i686; U; en-us) WebKit/532+, a few moments ago
and it works even better (with the adobe plug-in - non free)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I moved to Ubuntu 8.10 since there was a virus attack on my [vista] laptop.

GNOME is cool, Ubuntu is SUCK (especially 9.04 - super too much bloated) >>> XFCE is AWESOME

I'll move to Fedora (with XFCE) within the next 6 month at the most!

Epiphany + Midori = FTW!

resources are precious! - I have a Dual 3.00GHz and 5.3GB RAM << waaaayy too muuuuuuch but imho XFCE is better than GNOME (I tried xUbuntu (ubuntu... bah!) two days ago... and I LOVED it)

btw, I was kicked from the Ubuntu Forums (after my VERY significant contribution!) and google tried to censor the new little trick by referring to the last comment (the MOST irrelevant one...) but now they put this topic (from the beginning) at the top 8 to 9

So far it works on Epiphany on both Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex; Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope; Fedora 11 etc. (in short: Epiphany / GNOME)

You might want to add this fact to your script's information page (About)
