How do you download....

[DarkCloud]

If I wanted to download a flash file from a site would I need some sort of download manager to do so?

this is how u can save files with the .swf(flash) file extension using firefox:

1.open flash window and wait until the flash is fully loaded

2.right click anywhere in the window except for the flash screen, or from the Menu Bar>Tools>Page Info.

3.click 'view page info'

4.go to the tab named 'media'

5.locate the flash file and click 'save '(the flash filetype is embed so it should be easier to find)

In Firefox open "Page Info" select the Media tab

Find the SWF file and hit "Save As".

What about Internet Explorer? Is it possible to do it from there? I just read something that you can look in your Temp Internet files folder and look for the file there and then save it to your desktop or anywhere else.

you can look through your temporary internet files with IE.

or use something like this:

Heres a nice bookmarklet that can do the job:

javascript: (function(){var s,F,j,f,i;s = %22%22;F = document.embeds;for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) {f = F[j];s = f.getAttribute(%22src%22);if (confirm(%22Download this movie:\n\n%22 + s)) window.location = s; } })();
