Recommended Posts

Use firefox with the download-helper plugin.  It shows anything that is downloaded or streamed (even streaming music or youtube videos) as an icon in the bottom right corner of the browser.Click the icon and select save.

How to find / save a .SWF file for Flash Intro....HELP....new to this!!How To Save *.swf From A Web Site?

Hello,

I use FireFox and IE8 and have been trying to find/save a .SWF file for a flash intro on my new webiste with "Go Daddy".  However ...Do I need a certain program to save a flash intro from a website?  Every time I save one it is not a .Swf file and "Go Daddy" will only accept .Swf files.

Can anyone walk me through this process?  I'm computer savvy, just not in this area.

Thanks!

Pati

or.......you could just stop being a thief and ask for permission. If the owner doesn't grant permission, do not copy it! Do you realize your stealing?? If the file has been blocked with scripts....obviously the owner has gone to further extents to help prevent copyright....so leave his/her content alone.

Now there's one chance to inform people that the best browser isn't FireFox, cause the browser that has a excellent plugin to save swf files from any website pages is:
- Maxthon


First of all, start using this browser by downloading it and install it from:

http://www.maxthon.com/

Then, after you install it, of course, open it, if you don't like the default skin, wich many maxthon users don't, go to the Maxthon home page and you'll see there a button to the plugins, skins page.

With the Maxthon opened, open a page where you know there's a flash animation that you want (*.swf), and after the page has been fully loaded, click the button that has the symbol of the flash (with a letter f) and then click the "save" radio button and then right click the name of the animation wich is above the radio buttons at your left end, and save it in to your documents or whereever you want to save.

If that button isn't next to the other normal toolbars, do this:

click view menu, then toolbars button, then click plugins bar.

After that, the plugins toolbar will show up where you can obviously see many plugins (buttons) in an horizontal toolbar, where there's also the button wich has the letter f.

You don't have to buy for programs like:

- saveflash
- flash keeper
- flash saver
- flash manager

Just start using the Maxthon browser and you'll have a great plugin to save the swf file, and if you search the Maxthon plugins website, you'll find plugins for many things, like for:

- All the internet explorer plugins
(go to the options menu and configure it all)

- Gmail

- ViewSource!
(If you click this button with a website opened, you'll see all the html and scripts code in a snap, it's 1000000 times more better then the view source code in firefox and even of the internet explorer

- EnableRightClick
(If you click this button with a website opened, if wil enable the right click in websites that have protection against it.)

- And much more, but i'm not going to show them all here as you may imagine why.

Don't look for a plugin or program to save flash animations from websites cause it's almost impossible to find one good as good as the one within the Maxthon browser.



- SECONDED - For those of you who don't understand what he was just talking about.... yes..... I've had *8* IE-hating, tech savy, FireFox Die Hards permanently make a switch to Maxthon with one demonstration... (usually without intent)

THIS PROGRAM WILL SAVE YOUR FLASH FILES...

for anyone else who cares to read...

I do not for any reason put down FireFox, and if you are using FireFox now and are content with what you have, by all means stick with it. However... Maxthon is built on flexibility and has the means to run as any other browser would. (quite literally) Through customization it can become any browser you want it to be... Able to switch browser engines at the core and even input a custom user string(spoofing); you can tell a website that you are using an Android or iPhone via settings, if you wanted to, and load your web pages mobile stlye...

But being able to BE firefox, or another web browser(Google, Opera), or not even a computer at all is less of a noticeable feat compared to all it's customization options... with gestures you can use all these mouse combinations that we never make use of... I can hold right-click on a web page and "draw" a gesture on screen that will input a shortcut... examples - Draw Left can go back a page, forward can go forward a page, down can move to the bottom of a page, up can move to the top, Draw down then left can close tabs, LOTS MORE ECT. Even click gestures... I can press both mouse buttons at the same time to have my browser do things... I have "Hold Right-click Then Left-Click: Switch to left tab" and vice versa... also I can zoom into web pages to view something maybe hard to see by holding right click and rolling my mouse up and down... (like the very captcha-type image confirmation code I had to read and type in just to submit this post)


You can set custom search engine prefixs which will allow you to use any website search right from your address bar...

"g cats"
could be set to search google or google images for cats... or
"y drake uke"
could be set to search youtube for THE MOST GORGEOUS CHICK IMAGINEABLE...
(no really you should look that up.... right now. "drake uke")
"e batteries"
could be set to search eBay for batteries... or
"tz movie"
could be set to search Torrentz for movies... ect....
all you'd do is type the search engine prefix in the address bar followed by what you're looking for...


More so... Maxthon has a flash video saver... this will extract any video playing on any site and save it to your desktop. That's YouTube, DailyMotion, Metacafe, as well as the long list of... *ahem* ...other sites... You can even extract your video OFF THE PAGE... (Literally will remove the video from the page and become it's own video program window. from there the page, which has everything but the video left on it, can be closed or minimized)


maxthon even comes with a download handler (like FireFox) that's completely customizable and even TurnOff-able... as well as a long list of other mentionable features like highlight (Highlights all specified words on a page), drag and drop (you can select/highlight any text or image on a page and drag it to open it in a new tab, or search for it on google, or add it to a page or text box or to the address or search bar.) and maxthon has a well assembled pop-up blocker that can even remove ads by clicking on them. And it doesn't even pop up with an annoying "Pop up blocked" warning... just a tiny counter in the corner that you can click on to reveal what has been blocked... also fully customizeable and "TurnOffable"

why do I believe maxthon so much? because it's as advanced and simple as you want it to be... it is able to fully become the browser you want... even if that browser is one that has no settings or customizations needed... It installs ready to use with no apparent "Super Abilities" unless you're looking for them...

lyon2 was right... now is a good time to let people hear of maxthon...

Or if you're using fire fox you can just go tools>> page info, then click on the media tab, the swf should be in the list somewhere, when you find it click "save as"

Works only if right klick and page info is not blocked on the website ...
