How To Save Flash File From A Website ?

Saving a flash file from a website is different process than saving an image from a website where we just right click our mouse and select save image as from the list to save a file to our computer. Flash files are generally Flash animations, these files are often small in size and are in swf (ShockWave Flash) format. Flash files have .swf extension and require a flash player to run. So if you do not have a flash player then first download the latest version of any flash player.

Now its up to you to choose the method in which feel more comfortable.

Like in previous approach, here again we first search the URL of the flash files and then we use that URL to save the flash file to our PC.
