A program which resizes a standalone flashplayer instance to fill the screen. If no path argument is provided, it checks for a running instance of Adobe Flash Player 32 and resizes it. Otherwise a new flashplayer instance is started and subsequently resized. Relies on flashplayer.exe being in %PATH% for starting a new instance. At the very least the screen resolution and the OS need to be specified using arguments. Arguments are also available for custom setups where window borders and display are may vary from the default configurations.
Compile using cl along with user32.lib as follows:
cl /O2 /FoFlashResize.obj /FeFlashResize.exe FlashResize.cpp user32.lib
FlashResize [/R<width>x<height>] [/WIN10 | /WIN11] [/WL<num>] [/WR<num>] [/WT<num>] [/WB<num>]
[/DL<num>] [/DR<num>] [/DT<num>] [/DB<num>] [path]
/R<width>x<height>
Sets screen resolution. For example `/R1920x1080`
/WIN10 Sets dimensions for default Windows 10
/WIN11 Sets dimensions for default Windows 11
/WL<num> Window left border
/WR<num> Window right border
/WT<num> Window top border
/WB<num> Window bottom border
/DL<num> Display left
/DR<num> Display right
/DT<num> Display top
/DB<num> Display bottom
path File path
The resolution and OS arguments set the default window borders and display area. For example /R1920x1080 /WIN11 sets window borders as 8, 8, 51, 8 (left, right, top and bottom), since those are the default sizes of the border around the flash content window in Windows 11. For left, right and bottom it is 1 pixel visible window border and 7 pixels invisible resize border. For top, it is 1 pixel border and 50 pixels titlebar and menubar. The display area is set as 0, 1920, 0, 1032 (left, right, top, bottom). Bottom is 1032 instead of 1080 to account for the 48 pixel taskbar.
If non-default configuration is used (custom themes, different taskbar height/position) then the values need to be set manually using /W and /D options. /WL, /WR, /WT, /WB specify the window borders around the actual flash content. /DL, /DR, /DT, /DB specify the display area to which the window should be fit. Thus, if someone is running Windows 10 with taskbar at top, they would set display values as 0, 1920, 40, 1080 (Windows 10 has 40 pixel taskbar).
At the very least it has to be called with a resolution and a OS argument. Thus for default Windows 10 at 2560x1440 resolution, one would use:
FlashResize.exe /R2560x1440 /WIN10 <path>
