Can you save flash movies to the computer? And if, how?

I've tried saving the webpage as "offline content" but It didn't work.

Hm... here's something I like doing when I find something neat. Ok, here goes my method:

1) Open up the HTML source code (I know HTML, so its easier for me to learn, but then it might be slightly difficult for you if u have no knowledge of online coding.. just might take a bit longer.) You can do this by going to View-> Source/ Source Code.

2) when its open, press ctrl+f (or whatever's "find"), and then type in .swf and it should find the link to the flash file in the code.

3) Now, go on google, act like a dork and sign up for a random forum that noone uses (ok that's mean, but hey, its not that terrible if noone uses it anymore right? ). Post a topic, and make your post be a direct link to the file.

4) Now that its posted, you can right-click on the link in your post, and then download it. Its a bit lengthy, but then its easier then it sounds. Try it out! (just don't use PSOW to do this... )

Or you could also NOT post in a forum, and add the direction to any download manager: Download Accelerator, FlashGet, GetRight...

hmmm
nazo knows what hes doing.
But his last step is debatable.
You can just click "preview" (any post on psow)
and you don't even need to post

Hey, it works! Thanks!

Instead of clicking on the link, I just say "save target as."

I know that windows 98 saved every flash file by itself,which was very cool

the ways you all posted are really good
I make it with a html file I have on my pc
I just type in the source code bla,save the file,refresh the site and then right click > save as
