Use Firefox and save page as, the swf file should be among the files saved.You could do that but if a page has loads of flash movies and large images, the page would and all the images would take a long time to save.
Providing you won't use this for illegal purposes, here's a quick way to get a flash movie off the web:
- Look at pieces of text or images surronding the flash movie you wish to download. If there is a piece of text surrounding the movie, copy the text and if an image, copy its url.
- Right Click --> View Page Source.
- Click Ctrl + F and paste the text on the clipboard.
- Click Find
- Look around this text. Near it you should see something like this:
CODE
<embed src="http://site.com/myflash.swf"> </embed>
- Copy the url (so in this I would copy http://site.com/myflash.swf) and paste it in the address bar.
- Press the enter key and the flash movie that you want to download should come up and take up all of the browser window OR you maybe prompted to download a file.
- If prompted to download a file
- Make sure it is a flash file and if it is click Save
- Make sure it is a flash file and if it is click Save
- If the movie appears
- Make sure it's the one you want and then go to File --> Save As
- Make sure it's the one you want and then go to File --> Save As
So that's how to do it
- Maxthon
First of all, start using this browser by downloading it and install it from:
www.maxthon.com
Then, after you install it, of course, open it, if you don't like the default skin, wich many maxthon users don't, go to the Maxthon home page and you'll see there a button to the plugins, skins page.
With the Maxthon opened, open a page where you know there's a flash animation that you want (*.swf), and after the page has been fully loaded, click the button that has the symbol of the flash (with a letter f) and then click the "save" radio button and then right click the name of the animation wich is above the radio buttons at your left end, and save it in to your documents or whereever you want to save.
If that button isn't next to the other normal toolbars, do this:
click view menu, then toolbars button, then click plugins bar.
After that, the plugins toolbar will show up where you can obviously see many plugins (buttons) in an horizontal toolbar, where there's also the button wich has the letter f.
You don't have to buy for programs like:
- saveflash
- flash keeper
- flash saver
- flash manager
Just start using the Maxthon browser and you'll have a great plugin to save the swf file, and if you search the Maxthon plugins website, you'll find plugins for many things, like for:
- All the internet explorer plugins
(go to the options menu and configure it all)
- Gmail
- ViewSource!
(If you click this button with a website opened, you'll see all the html and scripts code in a snap, it's 1000000 times more better then the view source code in firefox and even of the internet explorer
- EnableRightClick
(If you click this button with a website opened, if wil enable the right click in websites that have protection against it.)
- And much more, but i'm not going to show them all here as you may imagine why.
Don't look for a plugin or program to save flash animations from websites cause it's almost impossible to find one good as good as the one within the Maxthon browser.
Wow...thanks for the great ideas you all got here..it really helpful..
..For the sake of learning, I've tried all the methods...and this is what I got..Actually, I intend to save the Flash Presentation into my notebook hard disk and use it when I'm offline. But it seems that the *.SWF is protected by some kind of script that prevent it from being saved.
1) I can't find the file in IE CACHE, maybe caused by the scripts..
2) The SAVE AS option in IE is disabled..
3) Using FireFox I managed to save the file, but it will closed down when I open it.
4) The same thing happened when I'm using MAXTHON..
So, the conclusion is...my objective is still not accomplished... But, I've decided to stop here as a respect to the author's wish. I will try to develop my own presentation and maybe learning some scripting to implement what I've encountered..
Anyway, thanks very much for your help...
*P/S: Lyon2, your forum signature is very useful...THANKS!
maxthon sounds a bit... haX0r-ish... But those sound like sweet plugins.
Just don't forget copyright laws
CODE
<embed src="http://site.com/myflash.swf"> </embed>if there is no accurate path only exit myflash.swf,you should combine the site address and sub file name and so on.usually IE firefox opera is okey by this way.
certainly you should not have illegal purposes(copyright)
good luck
QUOTE (moldboy)
Is there a chance that the swf is accessing a server rather then just loading and staying static? That could cause errors when opened, and/or prevent it from showing up in cache. Does it still work after you remove yourself from the internet? (Unplug)moldboy,
yeah..when it's load, the swf is accessing a server and redirected to a php page..
and it still wont work although i've disconnected from the internet..
i kinda like the actionscript the author used!
Note that you may also sniff the TCP packets to look for the absolute path of the swf. Sometimes the swf is just a portal or controller and the real FLV file is at another place. In such cases, you may have to decompile or sniff to get the FLV file behind.
I think that the author's motive of doing this is to only let people view the SWF from his website...

Now there's one chance to inform people that the best browser isn't FireFox, cause the browser that has a excellent plugin to save swf files from any website pages is:
- Maxthon

Hah, i'm going to have to disagree with you on that. Why? Because Firefox already has a tool to download swf files built into it...no need to download a plugin.
It's rather simple to do:
1) Goto the webpage that you want to get the flash file from.
2) Click the Tools menu, and select Page Info
3) Click on the Media Tab
4) Select the file you want
5) Click the save as button.
And there you have it. Much easier than the other options listed so far...and it's already built into Firefox. (sorry, just had to get a last prod in
).
When using Internet explorer use a software called Aevita Save Flash. You can get it from http://www.aevita.com/saveflash/ . If this one doesnt suit you try googling. There are tons of such tools for Internet Explorer.
If you are a Firefox user,then go to Tools -->PageInfo---->Media. This will display all the media files associated with the page. If you navigate through it you'll be able to find the swf you need. And you're done when you have located it .Just save it to your hard disk and thats it..

Thank you for the help! nice!
view -> page source, search for the swf file, find the one you want to download.
open up your favourite text editor, type the following text:
CODE
<a href="url of file">h</a>save the file as whatever.html
open up the file in your favourite browser, right-click the text 'h', -> save link as.
voila!
How To Save *.swf From A Web Site?
Replying to _R_Crazy_IdiotReplying to irwanvedder
Try opening the link in IE. After playing the video, go to your IE cache (Temporary Internet Files) and scroll through the files. One of them should be an .Flv. THAT'S the one you want. See, Adobe converts for you already. Just copy the file to your Desktop or get an online converter to change it to .Avi etc,. Hope this helps.

I used Flash Saver but it did,t work, cause some of the files have the same names, only the path varies, and when I download they all go to the same folder so only one of the ones with the same name is downloaded.
I aldo tried to change the names or put them in folders named as their paths online, but the likages are always lost :(
Any ideas?
