.SWF games

[Aphrael]

Hey guys

I've often found games online, which are *.swf files. Is there any way to save these files, to play the games offline?

Thanks

Yes, get urself Firefox and click File>Save Page As>Complete Webpage and it'll download it into a folder and voila.

Once you've done as dabouncer says, find the .swf file in the folder and copy it out... it's generally all you need. You can open .swf with Firefox.

And what if you wanna play it on a PC which does not have Firefox? Copy to an Exel file?

And thanx for the help, dabouncer & Leitmotif

Well, then you download Firefox...

You'll love it!

or Opera - even better than FF! (Not trolling, just my opinion)

thed33p - anything but IE.

Aphrael: once you've saved it, any web browser with a Shockwave Flash plugin should be able to open it.

Or: Flash movie player (freeware)

Flash Movie Player is a free stand-alone player for ShockWave Flash (SWF) animations, based on the Macromedia Flash Player plugin. In addition to all Macromedia Flash Player abilities, it has some extended features, such as animation rewinding, advanced full screen mode, playlists, browser cache integration and exe projectors support.
Flash Movie Player advantages

* Has full screen mode with auto-hiding navigation bar.

* Hotkeys for all frequent operations.
* Has Drag-n-drop support.
* The executable has small size and low system requirements.

Another way to save any multi media object in Firefox is to:
1) Right onthe page --> Select view Page Info
2) Click the Media Tab
3) Select the object you wish to save and click 'Save As'
