Saving Flash files from websites

Here’s how you can save flash files from websites.

• Visit the webpage (here i’m using http://www.xyz.com, just for an example)
• Select Source( View > Source )
• Now it would show up the HTML code for the site.
• Now click CTRL+F buttons together or go to the Edit menu and select Find( Edit > Find )
• In the search bar type swf and click find.
• It will take you to something similar to EMBED xsrc=”abcd.swf”
• Now select the file path. Example if it is EMBED xsrc=”/files/flash/abcd.swf” , copy the entire file path starting from the forward slash(/)
• Now goto the address bar and paste the path next to the end of the current address.
• It wouldd look like - www.xyz.com/files/flash/abcd.swf
• Now click go or hit Enter and the same flash file will load for you but without the HTML - only the file.
• Goto File > Save as and save the file in a safe place.

This may not work with some websites that has the files protected / also with some sites that use frames.

I have explained the procedure for internet explorer, this can be done in other browsers also with the same easy and with quite similar steps.
