How to use on all sites:

  • we need a user script to add buttons on flash plugin objects.
  1. install user script browser extension Tampermonkey.

  2. click Tampermonkey icon -> Dashboard -> Utilities -> Install from URL, copy and paste this url to install: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h-flash/HFlashPlayer/main/ScriptInjector.user.js

How to use for webmaster:

  1. (optional) Edit Scheme property in Form1.cs for your custom scheme, then rebuild.
  2. Combine scheme header with base64 encoded swf full path  as a launch url. example: var url = "hflash:https://" + base64encode("http:https://yoursite.com/"+swfpath);

hints for webmaster:

  • swfpath need not urlencode.
  • modern browsers has built in base64encode function, just: btoa(swfpath) .
  • if you open the launch url in a new window, it will leave a blank window, if not, the web page will stop functioning after launch. h-flash's solution: open in a hidden iframe.
