I'm creating a document and wanted to attach individual flash movies from a site.

I know how to get JPEG from a site but I don't know how to get an SWF (Flash) Movie from a site.

In particular I'd like to get a couple of .swf files from this site: http://www.tipsforhomes.com/

 

Easiest way I have found, and this works only with IE, at least as far as I can tell. Click on the movie you want. It will start playing. Open up explorer (file, not internet) and go to you documents and setting/your user name/local settings/temporary internet files. Look for the swf files. Copy them to another directory for saving.

 

Okay I did that, but I cant find the file. There are like millions

Edit, I found it but what do I do after finding it?

 

Just copy it to some other directory so that if you clear the temporary internet files you will not lose it. Do you have a directory where you store your personal documents etc. Copy it there. You can right click on the file and hit copy. Then go to the directory you want to save it in, click on it and hit paste.

PS, the reason you have so many files is that you have never cleared temp internet files. Might want to do that.

 

Next time clear all your temp internet files before going to the site to play the .swf and it'll be easier to find.

 

In firefox open the page, then go Tools>Page info
Then click on te Media tab.
A list of every image, video, sound any media that is on that page is in there. Doule ckick to save.

 

Thanks, I missed that one when I was looking for it in Firefox. I think I hit every other tab in page info, but missed that one.

 

Thanks guys


It works really well, I appreciate it.
