I recently spent the morning finding a way to make a flash application on a website go full screen, when it was not originally designed to go full screen.

I stumbled upon a firefox addon called Flash Game Maximizer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9631). I installed it, it works, I can now maximize any flash application using adobe flash's default engine capabilities to maximize.

I have two monitors. When I enable full screen, it goes to my default (left) monitor as I want it to. Now I want to still be able to click around and do things in my right monitor.. Now here's the problem; When you click anywhere outside of that flash player (or by pressing esc), it exit's the full screen mode.

My Question; How do I keep the flash player at full screen while I click around my other screen?:confused:

Thanks in advance for any advice or help! :)

You'll need to hex-edit the flash DLL, and the location of the byte you need to change is different for every version. Some links with more info:
