Anyway to save a Flash file?

[Baltimore Shooter]

Anyone know if it's possible to save a Flash file you find on another website? I found a Flash file that I'd like to show someone where internet access won't be available and I'd like to save the file to show this person what I'm talking about. I can easily save a WMF or Quicktime file but don't know how to it if it's a Flash file.

Im sure someones made a program out there or something, but short of that...Try clearing your browser cache then reload the page with the flash on it. The do a search on your computer for files created that day and look for the newest one. Probably won't be in a recognizable format so you may need to toy with it to figure out what is the best extension to open it with.

Works with a lot of different web files...

MPEG Streamclip to the rescue. Just make sure you have the latest version. I forget Warren, are you on the Mac?

Here is a neat little free program for the other side of the "window"
"Flash Catcher"

No offense to you Hunt TV, but I tried Flash Catcher and it caused a lot of problems w/ my computer. It locked up the computer several times and caused programs like Photoshop to crash. (All of this on my PC, I didn't put it on my Mac).

So I removed Flash Catcher and when I restarted the computer, it had wiped out all the files I had on my thumb drives. So if I were you, I wouldn't install Flash Catcher.

Just an FYI Warren. MPEG Streamclip has been updated to support OSX Leopard.

It's not free but it's not outrageus either.

I just needed to solve this problem myself.

A free program called GetBot (http://www.getbot.com/) handled it nicely. You can upgrade to more features for just $19, too.

Worked for me!

Doesn't QT Pro save flash files? This is the version that you pay for.

I use Firefox rather than Internet Explorer and it has a free plug in here...

let's me record any flash on a webpage and play it back later, from youtube, or elsewhere. it's free and works great.
