[TUTORIAL] Make flash games full screen

[treeham]

You'd be surprised how much better this is.

Step One. Download the firefox add on "Flash and Video Download"

Step Two. You should see a little arrow near the bottom of the screen


Step Three. Goto your favorite flash game site and load up your game. Click the little arrow and find your game.


Step Four. Open up VB and start a new project and name it whatever.

Step Five. Click Tools>Choose Toolbox Items>Com Components>Shockwave Flash Object>ok


Step Six. Add a shockwave object, make it set to your screen hight (e.g. 1280, 800) and set both it's x and y to ZERO.

Step Seven. Find your swf file's location (C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/My Documents/Downloads/ha3miniclip.swf) and put that into the "movie" properties


Step Eight. Doubleclick your form and paste this into Form1_load (or whatever you named your form

        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

Step Nine. Press f5, if the game does not load, right click and press play. if it says "Movie not loaded" you did something wrong

I know this is easy, but this teaches basics of getting flash games into vb apps

Good TUT i guess, btw if a game is at Games at Miniclip.com - Play Free Games 99% of the time the swf file will be www.miniclip.com/nubgame/nubgame.swf. just put that url into movie data and it should work.
BTW nubgame is not a real game, just a example

True but if you view source page source you can find the embed code, the only problem wit urs is that people cant use the full screen game on another pc.

I was going to say the same thing, Right Click ---> View Source, Locate the swf, Enter that into address bar, and you have a full screen Flash game, without having to Write a single line of code.

But decent tut .

Viewing the page source is useful, however, this add-on gets EVERYTHING. It's really useful for sites without the .swf in the page source.

Plus I like this way because it bypasses school blocks

how does it bypass EXPLAIN I WANNA KNOW!!!

You have the .swf file, and it runs off that. No need for internet. So there is nothing to block
