Here’s how you can save flash files from websites on Internet Explorer.

Visit the webpage (here i’m using http://www.isa4d.com - just randomly picked it from a directory of best flash sites!)

Either wait for the page to load or goto the View menu and select Source( View > Source )

Now it would show up the HTML code for the site.
(In this case it’s a bit short - good for a lesson.)

Now click CTRL+F buttons together or go to the Edit menu and select Find( Edit > Find )

In the search bar type swf and click find.

It will take you to something similar to EMBED src=”index.swf”

Now select the file path. Example if it is EMBED src=”/files/flash/animationindex.swf” , copy the entire file path starting from the forward slash(/)

Now goto the address bar and paste the path next to the end of the current address.

It wud look like - www.isa4d.com/files/flash/animationindex.swf

Now click go or hit Enter and the same flash file will load for you but without the HTML - only the file.

You know what to do next ! goto File > Save as and save the file ins a safe place.

P.S - This may not work with some websites that has the files protected / also with some sites that use frames - I’ll tell you how to crack them in the next tip
