Flash Bookmarklets

These bookmarklets let you control cartoons and other movies made with Macromedia Flash. They require Scriptable Flash. On Linux, you need Flash Player 7.0r25 or higher. On Windows, you may have to reinstall Flash for them to work.

Test them at Where is the Cheat? or The End of the World.

(To keep bookmarklets in order to use them on other web pages, drag them to your Bookmarks Toolbar. Or, install them all at once.)

Details

seek bar (Moz)

Creates a pause button and a seek bar under Flash movies.

seek bar for IE (IE)

Creates a pause button and a seek bar under Flash movies.

This version loads the bookmarklet code as an external script to get around Internet Explorer's bookmarklet length limitation. As a result, it's slower than the Mozilla version. Feel free to mirror flashSeekBar.js on a server closer to you in order to speed up this bookmarklet.

In IE, this bookmarklet doesn't work when Flash is displayed outside of a web page (example).

pause (IE, Moz)

Pauses and unpauses Flash movies.

Rewinds Flash movies.

fast-forward (IE, Moz)

Fast-forwards Flash movies.
