I just want to thank you for making this program available. I have installed it and it works even better that I had hoped. Considering that I am not very experienced in matters such as these the entire exercise was simple and effective.
The Flashblock utility or lack of it was my only complaint with Opera.


Thanks again

From readme: wink
Installation:
Close Opera, unzip 'FlashBlocker.zip' to some place on your harddisk.
Copy FlashBlocker.css to your user styles folder like c:\...\Opera\Opera 9\profile\styles\user (looking in Help->About Opera)
Copy FlashBlocker.js to your userJS folder like c:\...\Opera\Opera 9\profile\userJS (more about installation UserJS)
Restart Opera und enjoy.

worked to a degree for me...
it blocked it but I couldn't get the flash file to play
when I clicked on the button.

System Windows XP Pro

For unblock Flash, used UserJS. Check that he is correctly installed. If you to it did not use UserJS do install OSpell and make sure, that he works.

I can get it to work in Opera 9.21 in ubuntu but only if I set Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Style options -> My style sheet to point to FlashBlocker.css . It is not mentioned in the installation instruction. Is this setting required? Also, I can't play YouTube movies when FlashBlocker is enabled. It complains that my Flash Player version is too old (9,0,31,0). But it works if I disable FlashBlocker.

A.RuzanovLex1 Thursday, July 19, 2007 12:32:21 PM

but only if I set
Yes, it alternative variant.
Copying of FlashBlocker.css in "User CSS directory" does not work for you?
Also, I can't play YouTube
Works for me (WinXP, Flash 9,0,47,0)

Emil writes: OK, this blocker is pretty good, but there's just 1 thing that stops me using it. I mainly use it to block all these ads on sites. But if I click on one of the hidden objects, a new window pops up (the browser opens the ad). Isn't there a way just to show the flash content without following the site it links to? Thanks.

Emil writes: So, I changed the last line of the FlashBlocker.js file from: window.addEventListener('click' ..... to: window.addEventListener('mouseover' ... And now, flash object show whenever I put my mouse over the flash button;) This is how I like it :) I post this because there probably might be somebody else who wants the same behaviour :)

I have extracted zip file into hard drive and moved files into Opera`s subfolder. But in extracted folder I have "FlashBlocker-white-list.js" I do not thing that that moved files have remembered directory of extractedo folder, isn`t it? So how Opera knows or use that white list? Shoul I fill something somewhere? Of course all works good but that white list could be useful :) thx Przemek :)

A.RuzanovLex1 Tuesday, October 9, 2007 10:37:42 AM

But in extracted folder I have "FlashBlocker-white-list.js"


It's UserJS. Copy FlashBlocker-white-list.js to yours UserJS folder (also as FlashBlocker.js). Add the addresses of necessary sites, in beginning of file («// @include http://example.com/*»).

could you include a toolbar button to turn it on and off??

Thanks

A.RuzanovLex1 Saturday, October 13, 2007 2:21:02 PM

No. Digits in button, system specific. Use any button generator and create similar button
Button1, "Flash Blocker"="Select user CSS file, 1, , "Flash Blocker on", "Transfer Loading" > Deselect user CSS file, 1, , "Flash Blocker off", "Transfer Failure""

tosbsas Saturday, October 13, 2007 2:32:43 PM

script is no problem, but the button calls always another css - whats internal number

ruben

tosbsas Saturday, October 13, 2007 5:07:10 PM

found it - in my case its css number 11, but in toolbar I use 10

Grzegorz Aksamit writes: There seems to some problem with flashblocker and google analytics. Blocked flash charts are unclickable so you can't manually enable them. Also adding http://www.google.com/* (or https) to whitelist .js file doesn't seem to work. Maybe because google is placing those flash charts using javascript, not direct object/embed tags. Any suggested solution for this, except disabling flashblocker completely from view->styles menu?

No. FlashBlocker.js it really FlashUnBlocker.js. He serves only for deblocking of flash on a click.
