I'm sure most of you know that the Flash player loads the latest version of the project. And some people (such as myself) have surely tried to get it to load a different version of the player. Well, i finally got it to work!

Step 1:
View the source of the current page.

Step 2:
Copy the following:

Code:

                   function installPlayer(swfName, swfID) {
                       var flashvars = {
                           project: '/static/projects/[username]/[id].sb?version=[latest version]'};
                       var params = {
                           allowScriptAccess: 'sameDomain',
                           allowFullScreen: true
                       };
                       var attributes = {};
                       swfobject.embedSWF(swfName, swfID, 482, 401, '10.0', false, flashvars, params, attributes);
                       flashapp = document.getElementById(swfID);
                       flashapp.style.position = 'relative';
                       flashapp.style.marginLeft = '19px';
                       flashapp.parentNode.parentNode.style.overflow = 'visible'; // override CSS
                       flashapp.style.zIndex = 1000; // put in front
                       setPlayerSize(482, 401);
                   }

Step 3:
Paste into a text editor of some sort, such as boring Notepad, or maybe something good like Notepad++ (or gedit).

Step 4:
Change ?version=[latest] to ?version=[other].

Step 5:
Add to the bottom of this:

Code:

initProjectbox();installPlayer('/static/misc/Scratch.swf', 'PlayerOnly');

Step 6:
Copy all this code, and enter it into your JavaScript console. (Firefox: ctrl+shift+k, Chrome: inspect an element>console)

Step 7:
Watch the other version load!

They are different.

Hardmath123 · 2012-10-28 08:38:12

But the key is the same. wink

P.S. Sci, you should use prompts to make it a more convenient bookmarklet.

Sure thing. Just give me a few minutes...

scimonster · 2012-10-29 15:28:05

Gah, it won't load from a bookmarklet! Well, here's something with no editing, just a single prompt asking for the version.

Code:

function installPlayer(swfName, swfID) {
    var temps = {u: '', i: '', v: ''};
    temps.u = window.location.pathname.substring(10);
    temps.i = temps.u.substring(temps.u.indexOf('/')+1);
    temps.u = temps.u.substring(0,temps.u.indexOf('/'));
    temps.v = document.body.innerHTML.match(/.sb\?version=\d+/).toString().match(/\d+/);
    temps.v = prompt('What version? Current is '+temps.v,temps.v-1);
    var flashvars = {
        project: '/static/projects/'+temps.u+'/'+temps.i+'.sb?version='+temps.v};
    var params = {
        allowScriptAccess: 'sameDomain',
        allowFullScreen: true
    };
    var attributes = {};
    swfobject.embedSWF(swfName, swfID, 482, 401, '10.0', false, flashvars, params, attributes);
    flashapp = document.getElementById(swfID);
    flashapp.style.position = 'relative';
    flashapp.style.marginLeft = '19px';
    flashapp.parentNode.parentNode.style.overflow = 'visible'; // override CSS
    flashapp.style.zIndex = 1000; // put in front
    setPlayerSize(482, 401);
}
initProjectbox();installPlayer('/static/misc/Scratch.swf', 'PlayerOnly');

Escape your "."

fg123 · 2012-10-29 17:45:33

Haha, this is amazing! Nice job! big_smile

Greenatic · 2012-10-29 20:43:51

I remember I tried to do this one time--but I failed miserably! Thanks for getting it to work! smile

I don't think it mattered too much, since it would only match a literal period.

Code:

function installPlayer(swfName, swfID) {
    var temps = {u: '', i: '', v: ''};
    temps.u = window.location.pathname.substring(10);
    temps.i = temps.u.substring(temps.u.indexOf('/')+1);
    temps.u = temps.u.substring(0,temps.u.indexOf('/'));
    temps.v = document.body.innerHTML.match(/\.sb\?version=\d+/).toString().match(/\d+/);
    temps.v = prompt('What version? Current is '+temps.v,temps.v-1);
    var flashvars = {
        project: '/static/projects/'+temps.u+'/'+temps.i+'.sb?version='+temps.v};
    var params = {
        allowScriptAccess: 'sameDomain',
        allowFullScreen: true
    };
    var attributes = {};
    swfobject.embedSWF(swfName, swfID, 482, 401, '10.0', false, flashvars, params, attributes);
    flashapp = document.getElementById(swfID);
    flashapp.style.position = 'relative';
    flashapp.style.marginLeft = '19px';
    flashapp.parentNode.parentNode.style.overflow = 'visible'; // override CSS
    flashapp.style.zIndex = 1000; // put in front
    setPlayerSize(482, 401);
}
initProjectbox();installPlayer('/static/misc/Scratch.swf', 'PlayerOnly');

It still doesn't work as a bookmarklet though. D:

slinger · 2012-10-30 02:55:08

Nice find! smile
I'll definitely have to try this!

…No, it would match any character; that's what a dot does. For example, if I called my project ssb?version=0, it would match that instead.

Oh, i know that. I meant in my case, it would match the literal dot because that's what's there.
