downloading flash movies from sites
 

My friend is doing a Business Studies presentation, and needs to embed flash movies into powerpoint XP.

Problem is, the movie is hosted herewhen you select english. This whole section is a flash movie, and the part in particular that she wants is on the live section (the catwalk video in the middle)

The flash file is acually hosted here and as you can see, there is something weird going on with javascript when you load it.

Any ideas on how to get this movie from the site so it can be embedded in powerpoint?

There are rep points on offer for a solution ;)

Look in your web cache if you've played the entire thing back.
For IE it will be Temporary Internet Files and for Mozilla it will be in c:/documents and settings/username/application settings/mozilla/

the .swf is the packaged flash file.. what you need to do if you want just a section of it is get the source file (.fla) and edit it in one of the macromedia suite programs that supports it.

if you don't have access to the source then you can download it using this: http://www.justdosoft.com/flashCatcher/

also, if you don't have access to the source and don't know or have the permission of who does, you may be looking at copyright material in which case you can't use it anyway

*edit* just had a look at it.. impressive bit of flash.. but seeing as it's the official Dior site i'd guess you don't have access to the source and it's copyright.. so I'd suggest you sidestep the legal landmine and don't use it ;) */edit*
