Anyone know of a way to save flash animations on a webpage? I would like to know how to do this... Also, how do you grab the text from a flash enabled site?
RIght clicking obviously does not work...
Thanks

Boogs,use a neat little program called Flashsaver

Flash Saver is seamlessly integrated within web browsers (IE, Netscape, Opera, etc.). It enables you to save whatever Flash files by the Simple Click.

click the icon on IE's tool bar;
click F7;
a simple Right Click;
click the icon on system tray ;
double click on the application icon;

Thanks Reverend,
I should have done a search, but if I do everything on my own, what would this forum be good for?
LOL

just how annoying is it to see a nice "flash",
and not being able to save it for my own "personal" use.:cheers:

You guys come up with more goodies than a candy store.. Your moving so fast that I do not get a chance to learn the last lesson before you move on to the next item. I had to put plugs in my ears to keep all this information from leaking out of my head.

By the way I had to download from Simtlel.net, for some reason Rev the site that you posted would not link to a download location so I hunted around and got it from here. It is the latest 4.0 ......
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

I don't want to be all wrong, nor nothing like that, but I have a suggestion. I don't remember exactly what is was, but I think it was a Flash. OK, here it go
One day I wa looking at the "Temporary Internet Files" folder and there I found a couple of files that I didn't recognize the app. So i double click it (I didn't learn from my mother to don't touch things that I don't know what it is:D ) AND windows presented me with the tradicional warning that it is not safe to open the file from that directory, but I ignore it, and there opened an IE window with a flash image. I don't remember the termination right now, but I know I have save some flash app like that after I found out that. After all, everything is a little file in our hard disk when we Surf Internet :D Just follow the force Luke!

PS: this experience was under Windows 98, I don't know if XP lets you see all Internet content, but it should

i think firefox does the same thing

EDIT: Just checked you go into the tools menu then page info. In the box click on the media tab and it gives you a list of pics and movies etc that you can save.

And yes I realize I am replying to an old old thread
