How to Download a .swf File

Introduction

First, let's cover the basics... why would you want to download a .swf file in the first place?
Well, as all the computer geeks know, any animated embedded content has slower playback than its original. Many web animations nowadays are 24 fps - 30 fps. Claymations are generally 15 fps-24 fps. If the movie uses any graphic intense effects (such as alphas [fades], filters [blurs, glows,etc.], or animates over 17 symbols per keyframe, it will "lag". However, if you have the stand-alone .swf file, it plays much MUCH smoother.

Another reason to is for convenience. If you really like a flash movie or game, you might just want to have it sitting on your desktop so you can access it instead of opening up an internet browser, typing the URL and start playing.

This is the really simple part:

1. Locate the webpage that has the embedded .swf file in it.


2. In a blank section of the webpage, right click and press "view source".


3. Notepad (by default) should pop up containing the page's source code. Ctrl + F to find.

4. In the Find Section, type in .swf

5. Use your logical reasoning to guess which one is the correct .swf file (many times the author will name it nameofthemovie.swf or movie.swf / game.swf

6. Copy the ENTIRE URL (this is where the .swf file is saved into).

7. Open up Mozilla Firefox...

8. Paste it into your address bar..

9. File > Save as and your done!
