Ask for Chrome Desktop to run Flash Player

I don't know why, but recently google chrome is not running my flash vídeos anymore, It does run if I enable flash player.

Back then, Chrome itself asked for those permissions, but now it's not asking :(

Is there a way (an API) so I can ask for those permission to run?

Thanks.

Try this cheat:

/**
 * Tries to show browser's promt for enabling flash
 *
 * Chrome starting from 56 version and Edge from 15 are disabling flash
 * by default. To promt user to enable flash, they suggest to send user to
 * flash player download page. Then this browser will catch such request
 * and show a promt to user:
 * https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap#TOC-Developer-Recommendations
 * In this method we are forcing such promt by navigating user to adobe
 * site in iframe, instead of top window
 */
function requestFlashPermission() {
    var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
    iframe.src = 'https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer';
    iframe.sandbox = '';
    document.body.appendChild(iframe);
    document.body.removeChild(iframe);
}


var isNewEdge = (navigator.userAgent.match(/Edge\/(\d+)/) || [])[1] > 14;
var isNewSafari = (navigator.userAgent.match(/OS X (\d+)/) || [])[1] > 9;
var isNewChrome = (navigator.userAgent.match(/Chrom(e|ium)\/(\d+)/) || [])[2] > 56
    && !/Mobile/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var canRequestPermission = isNewEdge || isNewSafari || isNewChrome;

if (!swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion('10') && canRequestPermission) {
    requestFlashPermission();
    // Chrome requires user's click in order to allow iframe embeding
    $(window).one('click', requestFlashPermission);
}

Based on: https://www.chromium.org/flash-roadmap#TOC-Developer-Recommendations
