FlashResizer Description

Makes Flash Movies/Games Resizable FlashResizer is a Firefox extension that makes any flash element resizable. It adds a nearly-unnoticeable two-pixels-width vertical green line next to flash objects, which what you'll use to perform the resize, furthermore double-clicking that green line will automatically adjust the flash element to the browser window's inner width/height.Developer commentsSince this may looks like a vague explanation (even when it's basically all what it does), it may worth explaining how the add-on was born. First of all, I want to mention i've started developing this as a PrefBar button under SeaMonkey... and now converted it to an FF extension overnight, my first ever FF extension i have to tell.Why I've created it, is obvious... it's amazing being able to freely resize any flash movie/clip/game/whatever. On my very own case, I certainly got annoyed with the flash players available at some websites which does not even allow to switch to full screen mode (neither a button nor context-menu option), so.. after visiting that site quite often, i thought.....wtf...it shouldn't be too hard to dynamically increase that object's width/height, and indeed it wasn't hard at all, a little headache there on how to proportionally keep aspect ratio, but i've reached some quite simple solution which should fit ok for every size... (My SM Button handles resizing following 4:3 and/or 16:9 aspect ratios, which does not look ok if i try to resize some banners.. but for a public FF extension i don't feel that would be nice, and hence changed it to be based on the mouse movement). Requirements: · Mozilla Firefox What's New in This Release: · Flash elements which are dynamically created and/or within Frames should work now as well and be properly handled to be resizable. · There may be certain cases where a hidden Flash Element is used on the page, normally there will be a image which you should click to make the video appear. FlashResizer should now understand and handle accordingly such situations. · Previously, only flash elements with a width/height parameter was "re-created" on-resize. Starting with this version, ALL flash elements will be re-created on-resize by default, cause we found several places/websites where performing a single resize does not cause the "viewer pane" to be automatically adjusted to the new size. · Fixed Warning: Empty string passed to getElementById() · Implemented PrefService's Observer to completely switch off the add-on when clicking the status-bar icon or options's checkbox. · New flash elements's container will now inherit the parent's background-color, this should ensure all players should look ok when resized, cause there are some with transparent control buttons. · Reworked from scratch the preferences window. You can now configure several options, including per-site rules. · Some other little fixes/improvements.
