Use FlashHacker To Keep Your Video's Full Screen On Your Second Monitor Whilst You Work

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Anyone who uses multiple monitors has tried to have a video running in one full screen whilst working in the other. Needless to say it doesn’t work, which made me sad. Fortunately help is at hand in the shape of FlashHacker. It’s all very simple, download, close all of your browser windows, run, then click on Hack My Flash. That’s it, you should now be able to watch video on a monitor in full screen whilst working in the other – simples!

(For whatever reason I had to hack, unhack then re-hack my Flash to get this working… No idea why but if it’s not working certainly something to try… copy blindly! (I apologise, that’s a bit of an ‘in’ joke). Anyway, just a little something for my fellow multiple monitor users out there, hope it’s useful.)

Currently still in development – apart from the standard incremental updates – HTML5′s main aim is to try and reduce the need for media-based plug-ins such as Flash or Silverlight by building their functionality in to the language.
