I'll probably get fucked when flash updates
Re: everybody wanting the same for live streams, other flash video, etc. That'due south what the full screen flash hack posted by thundertoss and AbyssV3 does. Again, the downside is that whenever at that place's a new flash version, the hack stops working (until everybody figures out the new address to change). edit: everybody is editing lol, I guess I should assume people can read
Omg thankyou, this saves me sooo much frustration
seems similar a usefull little tool
