Ok, DaDevil here with my first egg for 2007!!!
I know this egg may have been posted similar, but heres a Very Detailed, and easy guide, WITH PICS!
So... You want to steal some FLASH of a website or two...
Quote:
"I right click but cant copy or highlight!"
Yes, this is true. You cannot just "right click" a flash file and "copy". That’s why Flash is more popular than GIFs and other Animatory Imagry. (Even though it is more complex to create than a simple GIF)
This guide will tell you the correct way of "stealing" Flash from a site.
What the proccess is, is "ripping" the Flash from the Website, and storing it on the computer as a Flash Document ".swf".
First off, get into the site you want to steal the Flash from.
And just say I want the "Rolex Clock" flash, on the website: (Dont worry, its much better quality on the FLASH)
Now, if I right click the clock, I’ll get a list of options the public can do to tinker with it, such as ZOOM IN & OUT, and different Quality spectrums, etc. Theres no "copy" or "save target as"... So how do we get the flash?
Heres how:
1) Get into the site that you want to steal the flash from.
2) Make SURE that the Flash has fully loaded up, unless its something like the clock, etc. Such as, If its an animation, wait till its loaded and ready to "play".
3) Minimize your Webbrowser. Get into "SEARCH" via the Start Menu.
4) Search for ".swf" (without quotes). Make sure you select where to search is:
"My Computer > C:/ > Documents and Settings > [computer username] > Local Settings > Temporary Internet Files" Click OK.
5) Click Search, and wait for all the .swf files to appear. All the files that appear in the search are all FLASH files from all the websites you have visited.
6) Wait till the search is Complete and individually click on each .swf to see what it is. Go through them all, deleting the ones you dont want, as you go.
7) When you have found the flash you want (in this case its the "Rolex Clock" and the flash name is "watch", Ive clicked that),
Right click and "copy". Copy the file into a different folder, say, one you have specifically made to hold the FLASH files you have gotten.
8) Get out of Search.
9) Now, click on the .swf file you copied, to view it, view it in your webbrowser. (If a little window opens to say "Open With", choose your Web Browser). It will get into it and automatically play, unless there is a little "Play" button on it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANYTHING TO LOAD, IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENS AND DOES ITS STUFF WITHOUT LOADING...
NOW THE FLASH YOU HAVE STOLEN IS READY FOR YOUR MANIPULATION. IF YOU HAVE "MACROMEDIA FLASH MAKER", YOU CAN OPEN THE FILE YOU STOLE, AND PERSONALIZE IT, WITH A WATERMARK, OR YOUR ROTTENEGGS ID, ETC.
And there you have it!

Jan 12, 2007 7:12 am - i don’t know y but it doesn’t work if i try it....i’ve done al the thingd you sayt but when i press search it say’s: nothing found...
Jan 12, 2007 11:47 am - I’ve been taking files (.swf, .mp3, .pdf, etc.) out of my temporary internet files for several years now. Anytime I want a file from a website that I don’t want to download or ’snatch’ I just get in there later and get it. Works great for those .swf games too.
Jan 12, 2007 11:02 pm - when i go to look for the file " Temporary Internet Files" i cant find it anywhere... help me and il rate your egg and profile a 5*
Jan 13, 2007 2:18 am - 5*s very good, but if you have mozilla firefox you can simply go tools>page info then click the media tab and you have a list of all the pictures etc. with a preview and you simply go save as.
Jan 18, 2007 7:12 pm - not a bad way to do it,
i still just make a hyperlink pointing to the flash url, then right-click, save target as. But this way seems faster, good egg. 5*
