I am going to show you 3 different ways to save flash files on your pc…

1. Download software to do it for you

This is the The First, And Most Easiest to do

There are so Many software to do this, I even searched on google, and came up with so many software to save flash from a webpage..

1.1 Flash Saver
website: http://www.flash-screen.com/flashsaver/

I personally Haven’t Used This Software Before, but it looks great.

1.2 Get a Mozilla Firefox Extension

1.2.1 Download Embedded

Website: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1993

I have used this program for quite a while now, and have had no problems with it..

I have heard that it had problems with opening pdf files in your browser, so I am unsure of how usefull this product is.

1.3 Internet Explorer Plugins

1.3.1 Aevita Save Flash 1.5

Homepage http://www.aevita.com

It seems that their site is down at the moment, so I can;t give a full review, but I have looked at reviews on other sites, and it looks like a promising product.

2. D.I.Y Do It Yourself!

This is where the advanced users will come, in, when they don’t want to download any other software, because it will slow down their pc.

2.1 Firstly go to the page where you want to save the flash file from, I will be demonstrating from http://www.albino black sheep.com (sorry about the spaces)
2.2 Type CTRL+U (noobs, if you don’t know hat this means, rather stick with step 1)
2.3 Type CTRL+A and Then CTRL+C (Right Click -> Select All, Right click Copy)
2.4 Paste in a new notepad document.
It should Look like this:

2.5 Scroll to the top of the pasted code, left click just before the first character comes.
2.6 Type CTRL+F and type in swf
2.7 Look for the file extension as swf eg. ageniusblog.swf, not swfimage.jpg
2.8 Make sure that its not a broken link eg, when I searched for the flash file on notepad, it showed this:

2.9 Be sure that you paste the /flash06/Waldo(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf on what website you were browsing. eg. my site was http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/
I am going to paste /flash06/Waldo(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf after that url.
like this:
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash06/Waldo(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf
3.0 When you are sure that it is that, paste it into the browser bar.
3.1 If it shows something like “save to pc” click that.
3.2 If it goes full screen, do this:
3.2.1 Make a new text document. and copy this:

Save To My Pc now!

3.2.2 Copy the Link to the flash file over the LINK TO FLASH FILE, but make sure you didn’t paste over the quotation marks

3.2.3 Click file -> Save as and type flash.html on the file name like this:

3.2.4 Save, and Double Click On The Saved File

3.2.5 Right Click On “Save To My Pc now!” and click “Save Link As”

3.2.6 And Click Save Again.The Default Saving Pace should be on your desktop

other way -

Let me make it clear with one thing, my trick is for firefox and for IE, you workout in similar way. Follow the steps below:

1. Load the page from which you want to copy image with firefox setting to allow all images from that server.

2. Make sure that the image is loaded fully.

3. Click Tools>Page Info.

4. You will get a window as shown in figure on which you need to click on media.

Page Info in firefox" height="387" width="420">

5. You will find the set of media included in the page, scroll to the desired one. Web images will be usually in jpg, png, gif formats.

6. a. Now, its you are downloading images or small objects, you may click Save As at the right side of the window.

b. If you are downloading any huge video or any object, its better you don’t choose Save As, but right click on the object location, select all [to select whole url] and use any of your download manager softwares to download as no one is sure about firefox crashes and you may lose partly downloaded files if firefox crashes.
