How can I find Flash content with JavaScript?

Question

How can I find Flash content with JavaScript?

Tools like adblockers or gimme bar seem to do this.

Answer 1

Flash uses <object> and <embed> tags. Do a getElementsByTagName on those two Flash tags:

var flash1=document.getElementsByTagName("object");
var flash2=document.getElementsByTagName("embed");

Note that YouTube embeds use <iframe> elements, so its harder to capture those. Also, make sure you run this after all elements have loaded (a.k.a. window.onload), otherwise you'll miss some or all.

Answer 2

maybe this code can help:

<script>
var length = document.getElementsByTagName('object').length;
alert(length);
</script>

add your end of page..
