| 376731 | 2005-07-29 22:43:00 | I confess that both myself and my children enjoy the various flash games which are referred to here from time to time. Is it possible to save and play these offline? Badger Badger, while not a game, enjoys a certain cult status in our household. My wife is mainly perplexed however. Check out Footy Badgers www.weebls-stuff.com :D Just for the ex-pat Englishmen in our midst. |

| 376732 | 2005-07-29 23:30:00 | The easiest way is to run firefox with the adblock extension, go to the site & click on the transparent adblock picture above the flash animation to get the address of the flash file. go to the url you just found (don't forget to cancel out of the adblock thing) & click file --> save page as. | Greven (91) | ||
| 376733 | 2005-07-30 06:18:00 | An even easier method within Firefox is to right-click the page and select View Page Info. From there click the Media tab at the top and find the .swf file in that list. It should be of type 'embed'. For example, from the link you supplied, the file was called footy.swf. The main method I use for saving most media files from websites is via a GM (greasemonkey.mozdev.org/) script called Unembed (http:). |

| 376734 | 2005-07-30 07:09:00 | All that sounds terribly complicated to me. Using IE6, all I do is right click on the swf file, choose "Save target as," nominate the folder it is to go to and click ok and that is that. The swf file downloads to that folder. It takes longer to describe than it does to do it. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Flash objects context menu dont usually have a "Save Target As..." option. If it is a link to a swf file (like this link to tetka.swf (sal.neoburn.net)) then yes, that works, but if its embedded then I dont see this working. |

| 376736 | 2005-07-30 08:14:00 | If I right click I get Zoom In, Zoom Out, Quality, Play, Loop, Forward, Rewind etc ... no 'Save As'. The AdBlock thing worked sweet though.... England England ... Its a GOOOOOOOOOALL |

| 376738 | 2005-07-30 09:28:00 | Well I've been doing it the hard way then haven't I. What I'd do is ctrl+u (view page source), search for the .swf file and extract the location that way! |

If it is a link to a swf file (like this link to tetka.swf (sal.neoburn.net)) then yes, that works, but if its embedded then I dont see this working. My ignorance of embedded objects is probably at the root of this Sal. I usually locate the exe or swf file when I want the program and consequently my right click method works OK. To be honest, I wouldn't recognise a Flash objects context menu if I tripped over it in broad daylight. I work on the Kiss principle and it seems to work for me. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
