hi
how can i download flashes to my hard disk ?
i mean there are some sites like youtube.com that i want to download some of their movies on my hard disk , but it seems i can only watch them online, how can i save them as a single file on my hard disk so i can check them offline anytime ?

here's
an example
http://fobhunter.com/home/index.php?/content/view/64/32/

(i don't want to synchronize the page, some times on in the coffee net , and i want to write the file to a cd and bring that home, i want to save that movie as a movie file , not html file)
 
Instally Firefox 2 (google it up!) then install Ook, Video Ook! (an add-on, easily found on the Firefox lists of addons) which downloads flash movies from just about any site. You will also need a player, i suggest K-lite Codec Pack with Media Player Classic.
 
hmm i'll get firefox. thanks!
anyway , dosn't the flash have any link ? so i could put the in one of download machines (like download accelrator) ?
oh another questtion , when i save the page , i can view it offline, so it should be saved on my hard disk somewhere , where is it?
 
i had an experience with quick time movies, i was in a site, which had some quick time movies, but when i click on the link , it just open another window, but no link it shows, someone thaught me to make the page offline so i could get the source of the movie, so i "make the page offline" or "synchronize" , so i saw what link i should download,
but the same way , i can not do it to find out this flashes source! , i was wonderin' how can i saved them to hard disk ,
(i use internet explorer 6)
 
Those Flash players load a movie inside them.
If you look in the source, you will find two things:

1) the SWF URL which is the Flash extension
2)The videos URL (sometimes you don't...)

If you've found the second one, then simply create an HTML link and try it in a browser. Then right click, save target as and there you go :D

This works whenever you have the videos URL.
 
Yeah, I've downloaded flash files before (.swf) - if you view the page source and find the file name/code you can usually get a hold of it that way. Some pages are coded so you can't get the file, but thats just an alternate way. I'd try Ook first.
 
hey platinum ,
that tool aenima picture you choose is awsome ! ;) i wonder you're a fan or just like that picture?!
anyway i'm gonna get Ook video , then that K-lite Codec, does Ook work with internet explorer ? or only with FF ?
