Swfdec - May 2008 - [Bug 15873] New: Close button

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15873

           Summary: Close button
           Product: swfdec
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: uzytkownik2 at gmail.com
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


On many pages there are flash ads - usually centered. We all love them ;)
The close buttons are, intentionaly or not, often broken.
Is it possible to add to a right-click-menu[1] an option 'close', which
would
just close this window?

[1] This one with 'play'

I like that idea! Would be great if possible to implement.

Besides the fact that this is rather complicated to implement if at all,
it's a
browser problem, not a Flash problem. And Swfdec is not an ad-blocker, but a
Flash player.

I guess this bug should be filed with Adblock?

I was told that browser can not manage RMB menu and that this menu is 100%
controlled by plugin. Moreover I think this request is not only about ads.
Sometimes user may want to close animation which is just some unnecessary part
of page earing (annoying/CPU-eating/sound-making).

Indeed, but the RMB menu being controlled by the Flash player is a browser bug,
too ;)
And removing parts of the content of a webpage is definitely a browser problem,
not a Flash problem.

We can talk about this when movie players start showing ads...
