Saving flash files?

Post by iranintoavan »

I am watching movies and stuff on sites like albinoblacksheep.com and I was wondering is there a way to save the flash files they have on there or any other site so you can have them on your hardrive? Thanks

I know it can be done, just not sure how to do it. I will check with a friend that downloads them off the web and ask him how he does it. No reply though until later tonight.

One way is to view the source and get the URL for the SWF file and then make a dummy webpage and make a link to the URL and right click "save Target As" on the link. I'm sure you can also use IE's built-in save function.

Another way is to open your Browser's cache folder and sort by the most recent files. Look for any file ending with an .SWF extension. Flash files are always fully downloaded into your cache before they are played.
