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

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  )

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??
hit F3 and do a search for *.swf
If you sort it by date last accesses, it should appear near the top...

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

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??
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?
