Saving a macromedia game - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

My kids really like a .swf game and I was wondering if I can save it to my hard drive so they can play while offline.
Is there a way to play a flash game while not online?
Thanks..

Here's the game they like..

Right-click on the link you made in this thread, "save target as..." then save it somewhere where everybody can access it. Then open your browser, and point it to file://c:/path/to/the/swf/file.swf

That should do it!

if you can't save it that way you can always get it from your temporary internet files by going to c:/documentsandsettings/user/localsettings/temporaryinternetfiles

There's also a program in the interweb somewhere called Flash Ripper (I think) that will let you download a flash movie embedded in a page. I don't think it works with firefox, though.

Yup, haha has it right, Just let the game load as you normally would, then go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

and look for the file with a .swf extension. It might be easier to sort by size first and then just check out the larger files. Then, just copy the file to wherever you need to keep it. Now just go File->Open->Browse and locate the file. Voila...

Peace,

Pierre

ps. I'm assuming you're on a windoze computer, if you're using GNU/Linux, the directory structure will be different. If that's the case, post that and I'll give you other isntructions...

Thanks,
I've tried most of these suggestions before, but all I get is the introduction to the game when I play it on their machine.

Ok, the kids comp didn't have it's firefox update....Updated and working fine.
Thanks again...

If you're using Firefox, all you have to do is: Tools > Page Info > Media > Find the file ending in .swf > Save as.

Then you can play it using a flash player.
Swiff Player
