Flash seek bar bookmarklet
I wrote a bookmarklet that adds a seek bar to flash movies. It works in Mozilla and IE. Read the script or grab the bookmarklet.

Excellent bookmarklet! You once again deliver the awesomeness.
You should consider putting a paypal donate button on your blog… People occaisionally tip for things like these, and I use your bookmarklets so often that I’d probably end up hitting it when I had a few extra dollars in the paypal account.

Can someone tell me what the deal is with scriptable plugins in Moz? I’d always thought it wasn’t possible, hence the recent plugin announcement but obviously I was wrong. So what is currently possible and what does the new API add? Thanks.
p.s. Excellent work BTW Jesse.

I think it’s brilliant and should be an extension :P

What is currently possible with scriptable Flash:

My guess about the new plugin API (http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=4923) is that it will allow scriptable Flash to work in more browsers on more platforms. Right now it only works in IE for Windows and Mozilla for Windows. I don’t think the new plugin API will improve Flash scriptability where it already works.

The Flash bookmarklets work under Linux with Flash Player 7.0r25 (but not earlier versions). I was wrong when I said they only work in IE for Windows and Mozilla for Windows.

Doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried a few sites that either have Flash ads, ala http://www.news.com or http://www.macromedia.com, or are just straight links to flash movies from google and it says “no scriptable flash on this page” every time I try it. Any reason why this won’t work?

I had the “no scriptable flash on this page” error too in WinXP, Firefox 0.9.2. I even had the newest version of Flash installed. I reinstalled the flash plugin using the official setup, and now the plugin works fine.

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249855 might have been the reason you had to reinstall Flash for this to work, despite already having the latest version of flash.

Thanks Chris I reinstalled and it work fine now. :) I usually just copy the dll into version after version of Firefox but I guess it needed to be a fresh install. Thanks for the bookmarklet! Now I can get to the end of those crappy flash movies to see what the point was. ;)

I know I haven’t written for a while. I guess that’s because I thought nobody was reading. Maybe someone is. Great! Anyway, here are some good things I’ve found recently. Steven Frank has started a comic series called Spamusement! He…
