I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, so mods please move at your discretion.
Question: How do I save an animated movie that is done in Flash? I have read some info about it on this forum and people said that you can't bookmark a page if it's done in Flash.
But what software or program can be use to save a Flash movie?

I imagine you could look at the source of the page where the file is displayed, get the filename, make a HTML page with an absolute link to the file, open your HTML page locally in a browser, control-click the link and select "Download Link to Disk".
A bit of a hassle, but also works for QuickTime files when you don't have QuickTime Pro.

Would you mind walking me through this? I got:
1. View source
2. Find filename ending with .swf?
3. This is where I'm lost...making an html page with "an absolute link" to the file.

Make a text file with
Code:
<a href="INSERT URL HERE">click</a>
Then open the file in your browser.

Thanks for the help everyone. Actually, I used OmniWeb. Here's what I did:
1. Tools -> Show Info
2. downloaded the streaming file (for this site it started with stream.shockwave.com...)
3. Saved to hard drive
4. Played it in QT (however some didn't work in QT, so I played in in Flash Player).
Now to convert these into a screensaver.

The main cause of confusion was how to download the file once it's URL was known.
The HTML file is a confusing approach.
if you had wget installed, that would be easy to use. But, then again, if you have wget installed, that HTML idea would not have confused you  (stereotypically speaking that is.)

Ok, another related question. I now have these flash movies in .swf format and I've converted them into screensavers with xbMovieMaker.
But these flash movie will not loop so when the screensaver comes on, it only plays the movie one time.
At the end of each movie there are options to play it again. So my question is this:
How do I bypass that requirement and force the movie to loop (to replay over and over again)?
