205065 2004-01-03 13:19:00 how can i save cool flash animations that stream via webpages? i want to get the one playing at g-unitsoldier.com but i dont know how to save it... can anybody help me please? Mr_T (5031)

205067 2004-01-03 18:46:00 It can be done as I've done it before, I just can't quite remember how. By viewing the source-code of the webpage (HTML), you can see the link to the actual Flash file, to which you can then point your browser, and then go File-SaveAs. somebody (208)
205068 2004-01-03 21:46:00 Or you do a specific search in Temporary Internet Files for *.swf

So if you do actually look in the source-code of the webpage and get the file name you can just copy it directly from their.

But i have noticed that in the source-code a file may be flash.swf but in the temp net files it'll be flash[1].swf

so you cant directly search the file name from the source-code

205069 2004-01-04 00:47:00 Or failing that, once you know the URL of the flash object that you want to download (by looking in the source code) (in this case it's www.g-unitsoldier.com), then you simply copy and paste the URL into a download programme such as Download Accelerator or any other downloading programme that lets you manually input URL's, then bang, away she goes. :) dan1234 (5028)

205071 2004-01-04 04:14:00 Hi Mr T,
Just catching up on some reading and noticed in the Nov 2003 issue of PC World, an article descibing the same thing.

A program called Flash Movie Extract Pilot is used for doing just that. Searches your Internet Cache, plays them and saves them in a folder of your choice.

Either available on the CD that came with the mag, or by clicking on here (www.colorpilot.com)

Happy flashing.
