I didn't know Flash files could be saved in Firefox.

Here's how:

In Mozilla Firefox, just right click anywhere on the page and click "View Page Info" (or find it in the "Tools" menu) and click on the media tab. Then select the desired .swf file from the list and click "Save as..."

I've found that I have to right click outside the Flash animation for it to work.
.

at first i also dont know how to save *.swf files from the web using firefox... but i think rridgely told me how... sorry but i cannot remember who is the person exactly... as for internet explorer... i use the Windows Disk Cleanup and browse to the internet temp folder and find folder by fold...

I always create a new HTML file with then put a "<a href="http://www.example.com/animations/flash.swf">Download</a>" in it. Then load it up in the browser, then just click on the link.

anyone know how to do this with opera?

Opera (Single User):
1. Open C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\cache4
2. Copy the .swf file(s) to another location.

or use a download manager...
