Tom's FlashControl

Adds a control panel to every flash you see!

Tom's FlashControl


Add control to the Flashes you see in firefox!


This script adds a menu to every Flash you see.
This menu includes these buttons:
  • Play
  • Stop
  • Rewind
  • Next frame
  • Previous frame
  • Go to a frame
  • Link to the flash
  • Hide Flash
  • Show Flash
  • Zoom in
  • Zoom out
This is my first "real" javascript, please don't judge it too hard.

Also it only seems to work on half the sites.

If someone wants to help me with that, please contact me or add a comment.

Credits for the script:
  • http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2004 Jasper de Vries for the idea and some positioning trick (replace the object with the embed)
  • Various resources for basic JavaScript and Flash API functions.
  • Me for the script (>'.')>
  • And of course GreaseMonkey for being such a great tool :D
UPDATE: Edited the menu positions, made the menus pop over the flashes and added alpha blending.

UPDATE2: Fixed a menu positioning bug, removed the "menu to pop over the flash" because flashes didn't seem to respond to keyboard input, need to find a workaround for this. UPDATE3: More or less abandoned this project. It still fully works for about half the sites (probably to blame on the way the flashes are embedded in the rest of the sites) so you may want to use this. I read another project like this is going on.

If anyone wants to help me get this working on all sites (it's working on for example Newgrounds, but in for example AlbinoBlackSheep it spawns the error "Error calling method on NPObject!" in firebug...

Also this is my first "real" JavaScript ever, so dont play to hard on me :P

(Only tested on firefox 2.0.0.1 and will probably only work on Gecko-based browsers)
