I remember I had a website once where I had a little clock widget that I made in flash. I discovered that some of the traffic to my website was coming from myspace and found out that someone had used my widget on their myspace page. I changed the code in my widget to detect which url it was loaded from and if it wasn't on my website, it would simply crash and back then, flash didn't have the 30 second timeout when a script becomes unresponsive, you really had to kill the browser to exit.
- talmand 14y agoI had a similar thing once. A company ripped off one of our landing page designs, even down to copyrighted material, and kept one of the little flash widgets in the footer. I showed the boss that I could take advantage of that by whiting out their page or replacing their content with whatever message we wanted.I wanted rather mean-spirited and rude messaging since it would appear to come from them. The way I remember it I was doing this by injecting javascript into the page from the SWF. The boss never let me do it, he decided to sic the lawyers on them instead.
