Downloading Flash Files

    I am currently working for a client redoing his website. Now, I don't have access to his web host currently but I'd like to use one of the flash images on his website already. Getting the direct url to that image is not a problem. Is there a way to download it so that I can work with it, without going through a method of contact, etc..?

    Appreciated.

    When using Firefox you can simply open the direct url using the address bar. The flash file will be displayed, and you'll be able to directly save it by using 'File->Save Page As'

    If you're not using Firefox: Use notepad to place an empty .html file on your desktop, and add the following text:

    
    <a href="http://www.yourdirecturlhere.com/file.swf">Right Click, Save As</a>
    
    HTML:
    Replace the url with the url of the swf file and save the document. Simply open the html file using Internet Explorer, right click the link and choose 'Save target as'...

    Good call! Thanks I knew it could be done, I'm sure I've done it before, just wasn't thinking, it's been a while since I've made some shady moves like that back when I was 11-12 stealing ppls layouts but all for educational purposes, seriously. :)

    Thanks mate
