Whenever you play a Flash video full screen, any keystroke or mouse click on another monitor will cause the full screen view to minimize. This could be irritating if you are trying to play an internet video on one screen and push other media to another screen at the same time. Here’s how to safely hack the Flash player.

  1. Download the replacement DLL (zip container) here.
  2. Open an explorer window and go to C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\
  3. Rename the NPSWF32.dll file to NPSWF32.dll.txt to save as a backup in case the hack doesn’t work
  4. Copy the new NPSWF32.dll from the zip container to the folder.
  5. Restart your browser and viola! It should work beautifully.
  6. If for some reason your Flash player breaks, go back to the directory and delete NPSWF32.dll, then rename NPSWF32.dll.txt back to its original file name.

Pressing escape will minimize the Flash player once it’s been hacked.

Sprout has just announced that it no longer is providing a free service.  You can see their pricing on their website.

Sprout Builder is a great tool that helps you easily build flash banners and widgets for your site.  It’s free and you can build all kinds of cool things that interact with social platforms.  This is a great idea to build MySpace banners for youth events that young people can embed on their sites.  I created a quick widget with my Twitter feed and my personal blog RSS to show you how it works!
