I want to download a swf file from a website.

The file "hides" behind a graphic on the web page. When I click the image a new page opens and the swf file plays.

The html code looks like this:

<a params="lightwindow_width=640,lightwindow_height=520" class="lightwindow" href="/video/scope/view.swf"><img class="video_thumb" alt="Scope: Touch Video" src="/img/scope/view_thumb.jpg"></a>
<img class="video_thumb" alt="Scope: Touch Video" src="/img/scope/video_thumb.jpg">

How do I download the actual swf file? I prefer to use Firefox.

And before anyone rants about copyright, I have permission to download the file!

Heh; while it may assist, your no doubt well-intentioned plan to help overlooks the problem that it is HE who has permission to download the file and not you, I, or anyone else that, this thread having been GOOG-bot cached, the entire Internet!

... :D please be forgiving about the tone I appear to take; I'm both tired (and all brain-wobbly) and have been just read several 27b/6 columns, and that oke's style gets right inside my head! :o

Try: http://www.websitename.com/video/scope/view.swf and paste in your favourite download manager.
Giving us the link would help tremendously.

Um. Did you miss where this already got mentioned? Or (and the irony of asking this is not lost on me..) do you have me on ignore and so missed it that way? I ask mainly because it beggars belief; well, for me at least, why you would offer up what amounts to a de facto direct copy.

Firefox->Tools->PageInfo->Media->Save as

This is my problem
Only listed are images and background. no .swf, movies etc

Strange. I'm sure I've done exactly that with a swf.

If you can't give us a link, then what dequad said is best...though I don't see why he wants to use IE for it...FF has a accessible temp cache too.
