Use Firefox. Right click on page, go to 'Page Info'. Select .swf from the media page, save as...

easeh :D

Re: saving flash??
 

My suggestion would be to disable your Flash plugin, and then browse over to http://stillborn.blissed.org/creep.swf and pick the file up there...

(Then maybe Tools->Page Info etc. - definitely works, I got the file sitting on my desktop right now, and I don't even want it :))

Would be if they weren't streaming it.

don't want to change browser. There's bound to be something out there. Ty for your reply though

Re: saving flash??
 

Well, I have just done it, but it is 5.7meg.... I'll meet you on IRC and DCC it over if you want.

Ta for the offer (yahoo only here). While it will solve the prob this time, what do I do next time I come across a flash file to save. Is anyone using software to do this and if so, what?

Re: saving flash??
 

Well, IE should store it in "Temporary Internet Files" automatically...

Re: saving flash??
 

yes...agreed. you ever tried looking for something there though? needle in haystack, etc.

Re: saving flash??
 

hit F3 and do a search for *.swf

If you sort it by date last accesses, it should appear near the top...

Re: saving flash??
 

works fine for me :shrug:

looks like its solved now anyway :)

Re: saving flash??
 

Yup - I found it too. Seems like they don't actually stream it - they just say they do. lol

Thanks for pointing that 'Page Info' out - haven't had Firefox that long yet and certainly haven't found out all the best bits yet :)

Re: saving flash??
 

If you dont want use alternative rowsers that allow you so save flash files then i suggest

view IE's temporary files (Tools,options,settings,view files)
then click on the type heading and sort by type and look for swf

copy the file out of there to whereever you want

Re: saving flash??
 

thanks for the suggestions folks.....but is there a program available to do it?

Re: saving flash??
 

There is.
I'll see if I can dig it out as I want to reinstall it.

Very useful for saving them & extracting stuff from them.

Re: saving flash??
 

if you use a download manager, you can make it download the file instead of your browser, by feeding it the URL.

Just curious about why you don't want to change to firefox?

Re: saving flash??
 

What i do is do a view->source on the page, find the link to the animation, create a new .html file and insert the link, open it in IE and Right-Click->Save As, its a bit long winded but it works.

Re: saving flash??
 

sothink swf decompiler.

That's what it was.
Now I just got to find my install code. :(
