    wondering if any of the experts on here can help me out.

    Ive been desperatly trying for the last 3 days to get some embedded swf videos from www.sparqtraining.com (videos section) onto my system so that I can play the files locally.

    If tried all sorts of ways of doing it but it jsut seems beyond me.

    can any of you help me out ?

    a step by step of how to do it would be great as Im clueless about this kind of thing.

    Hi everyone!

    Does anyone have an idea how to get any of the games on mousebreaker.com to play offline.

    here is an example of one of the games:

    http://www.mousebreaker.com/games/racehorsetycoon/play.php

    I can't seem to get hold of it for some reason and get it to play.
    It uses an swf file.

    Cheers

    Hi, this site drives me nuts: http://www.bmovies.com
    When you start a video, it opens another window which is a flash files that in turn opens the movie itself. I didn't find a way to see where the movie itself comes from. I have flashblock, and when I right-clic and copy the link, I have only the link of the 1st player ( the one that launches the movie) i.e : http://www.bmovies.com/flash/vid_player.swf
    btw, you can browse the flash dir above, but I didn't get any info there :-(
    Any help appreciated

    Well, I got sth here: went to 3,it's fun to read, then magic, then make a magician. (http://www.starfall.com/n/magic/magician/load.htm?f)
    View->source code and somewhere you have a valur for movie:
    PARAM NAME="movie"VALUE="../../../ni/level-b/magic/magician_F6.swf?092105"
    What I did is just put http://www.starfall.com/ni/level-b/magic/magician_F6.swf -> got the swf alone, then save page as, or with downloadhelper addon, if you add swf in the preferences mediareq and medialink, you can download it from there. Nota bene: the swf will not play automatically, you have to move the cursor by hand.
    hope this helps
    Simon

    I'm no expert like CiDaemon, but with the downloadhelper addon of Firefox I could dload the FLV files, but it's a little tricky, the name of the same file changes everytime you play it.
    So, first right-clic on the page,-> page info-> media and look at the embedded thing. Copy the link example:
    http://video.sparqtraining.com/api3/sparq.swf?cf=small&key=C8D6FF606A2A7114
    paste it in your browser, you'll have the video full screen. When you play it downloaderhelper starts moving, you save the flv

    Can you tell us the name of the Firefox addon and what it's listed under? That will probably help us out a lot. There's a whole bunch of video nabbers listed under Firefox.

    I wonder if anyone will be able to help me with this for my daughter's birthday on Sunday:

    http://www.mtvu.com/video/?id=1557403&vid=143870

    I want to download the main video from this page (there are two others as well, but with help, I can probably do those).

    I have trawled through all the pages of this thread, and nothing has worked, it's hopeless.

    Please, please can someone help me download this video??

    Ok, I've said this before but it has been a few pages back at least.


    Two programs have help me in many situations.
    First one you want to try is.......

    Real Media Catcher
    http://all-streaming-media.com/reco...Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm
    Best results start recording before you even open your browser, then go to the page where your video is. It should pop up in the recording window.

    If that don't work try....
    http://www.applian.com/replay-av/index8_wm_real.php
    This one gets different kinds of files then the one above and is a littler harder to use.
    Best to clear your cache out before you record sometimes.
    This one does more then just capture audio/video.
    I also use this to record online radio shows, you can set when it will start recording.

    Thanks,

    I installed both programs but still unable to download. I tried every method available.
    Could you help me more? Or probably download all vids shown on left pane.

    Thanks for your help.

    Could you please check this web page and tell me how to download.
    There is main player which has embedded links of all vids and no other link is shown in firefox.
    When I save main link nothing viewable is saved.
    Thanks

    Somehow, the combined efforts of my students uncovered how to save swf-formatted files using Flash application but now I am struggling on my own. The animation is located here:

    http://www.dluxwebcandy.com/ticker/view.php?id=4931fc2c66cd7231f5cb29f925ff97f4

    Can anyone direct me as to where I would begin to accomplish this? If so, along with hailing you as a genius, I shall be ever so grateful to send you a candy bar or grant you something your heart may desire.
