Page 1 of 2 If you are like me and have two or more monitors, then you have probably experienced this: When watching a fullscreen flash video on one screen you go to work on the other screen and flash immediately exits fullscreen mode.
I have created a tool which makes hacking and unhacking a flash install incredibly easy. It should work on most versions of flash, however I can offer no guarantees that it will work on versions that I have not tested on. (Note, after hacking flash the esc key is to be used to exit fullscreen mode for flash videos)
Special thanks to Andrew Brampton for his work with 10.1

One note: had to run the exe as administrator on Win7x64. Worked like a charm after that.
A nice feature for single screen users would be to allow pinning the flash video window so that things can be opened in front of it. Don't know how possible that is though ;)
If we're talking about the same kind of pinning here, you can download Deskpins for windows or Afloat for mac OS. You can pin windows such that they always stay on top of others -- I use it to pin flash windows (like MLB.tv) above my other windows, but you could probably pin things on top of the flash window as well!

Yes, FlashHacker must be run as admin on all versions of Windows.
I still have not found a way to get 10.1 working.
Looks like it's been replaced with flash10e.ocx, an activex control. aargh. i had gotten so used to the behavior, it's frustrating to be without.
Thanks for the tip. FlashHacker works with 10.0.45.2 if you use Firefox or chrome. I will try to roll out a new version that works with IE.
well i'm a dolt. i was in the middle of reinstalling firefox and hadn't installed flash for FF yet. heh heh. let IE users suffer without ;)
IE users maybe left with out a fix for sometime more as I can not seem to find a way to edit flash10e.ocx (or to even clear the readonly flag).
It'd be great to have support for IE because many 3rd party apps use IE as the engine to display the videos.
As far as I can tell no one else has figured it out yet either.
Win 7 x64 is the system I run, so rest assured if I figure out 10.1 it will work with it.
I am working on some program using Autoit.
I can unset the ontop flag of the Adobe Flash player window in full screen so the other ontop window will be visible, but when I click that window, flash looses the focus and exits from full screen.
I am interested in this "I have hacked it to the point where fullscreen never exits"
You can solve your problem by setting the hotkey in the autoit to close the flash window.
This being said I have been considering making an application which would run in the background and let other windows appear in front of a fullscreen flash video. Would you be interested in such a program?
This program will automatically do that. However it is only useful if FlashHacker or a similar technique works to prevent fullscreen from auto exiting.
Oh I hope you can upgrade it. I didnt even think when I let it auto upgrade. Is there a way to downgrade your flash? Or is there an ETA on when you could give us an update! This program rocks!
If indeed you are on the RC for flash 10.1 then uninstall it using add and remove programs and install the latest stable version of flash (10.0.45.2) from: www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/7025/
An update for 10.1 will hopefully be available shortly after the final version of 10.1 is released.
I've saved you some work and cracked 10.1. Check out my patch here: http://bramp.net/blog/full-screen-hack-for-flash
Feel free to update your app to include my changes, as long as you credit me in either the readme or the intro screen, or both.
Enjoy.
Occasionally freezes in Chrome on a quad core 8 gig of ram Windows 7 rig.
The freezing you are experiencing is likely flash messing up. Flashhacker is unlikely to be the cause.
Thanks for reporting this
Regards, Russian.
I have stated on a new program called Drizzly which is designed to support multiple browsers. Chrome support will be added to Drizzly. (FlashHacker was designed around browsers using the standard Flash(Non-IE) plugin, and does not scale well outside of that world)
I can spin a chrome only version if you would like something ASAP.

Thanks so much for having made this.
Flash 10,1,53,64 installed
Windows 7 32 bit
Firefox 3.6.6
Also followed bramps directions and hex hacked it. Also no effect.
A brand new version of FlashHacker (built from scratch) is underway. This new version will allow FlashHacker to better adapt and evolve. Stay tuned!
No new features will be added until the new version is finished. (Will update if new flash is released before I can finish though.)
Did you try reinstalling flash?
?????????
FlashHacker ALWAYS runs as admin! How were you ever running it as not admin?
os = win 7 64 bit
browsers = ie , opera , firefox
redownloaded flash and install
rebooot
run flashhack
fail
You can always do the hack manually with a hex editor.
If you are following the directions, and keep having it fail, try clicking "unhack my flash first." Let it do its thing, and then click "hack my flash."
I had flashhacker installed and working fine before the Flash update came out. I updated flash, got the updated flashhacker and no dice. Then i tried "unhack" before "hack" and it worked fine.

Thanks to you though, I uninstalled Flash, Installed the recommended NON ie version. Then ran your hack. Walla, ALL is good now!!!
Thanks to Dmytro Suvorov for his tip.
I've tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling flash. Downloading the latest version of FlashHacker.. and still no Unhack button.
I want to Unhack my flash cause I'll be getting rid of my second monitor. Even when I do a clean install of Flash.. it still works as if it were hacked. :(
I have a small problem with it.. I don't "Unhack My Flash!" button anymore.
