I've been geting a lot of downloads on this tool lately, and a lot of feedback from users. Thank you to everyone with whom I've corresponded. The most common complaint about this tool is that Internet Explorer on Windows will continue to annoy users to download Flash if it is turned off. I plan on including a manager for this in the next release of jTFlashManager. Until then, here's a workaround:
1) Go to File>>Find Plugin.
2) Browse to the dll for Macromedia Software updates. On Windows NT/2000, this will be something like
C:\WINNT\SYSYEM32\Macromed\common\swSupport.dll.
For Win 9x, it will be something like
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Macromed\common\swSupport.dll .
3) Choose this file. When jTFlashManager asks you to name it, call it "IE Updates".
4) Turn it off with the regular jTFlashManager interface.
As you may have noticed from this, you can manage a lot more than Flash with jTFlashManager. Anyway, on with the show...
Most browsers do not allow for the Flash plugin to be turned on and off. Instead, you're asked to delete the plugin. jTFlashManager gives you the capability to turn Flash on and off for all of your browsers. This makes it perfect if you want to take control over what you see on the web. The number of Flash ads on the web is rising, slowing the Internet down for you. With jTFlashManager, you'll never see another Flash ad. Browse with Flash turned off, and turn it on only for animations you wish to see. Makes a good compliment to the mozilla browser's image/ad blocking abilities, and it's an excellent tool for web development testing as well. |
