Hi

If you want to download from page source I think you go to:

view > page source or right click on page and select view page source - then a window pops up.

Press ctrl + f and search for swf. Keep searching until you find <embed src="http://websiteexample.com/flashfile.swf">

Copy and paste the link address to your download manager, or into a new internet page, then file > save as.

If you want to get it from youtube, google video etc. You can use VideoDownloader to download it for you. If you got firefox, you can download their add-on extension as well.

These are just a few examples of getting them.

Hope that helps.

embed src="imgs/devil_movie/devil_movie.swf"
no http codes, does that mean it couldn't be downloaded?

yes it can be downloaded, just look at the domain, if the address of the pages is http:// mydomain.com/flash/page1.html then the address of the flash movie will be http:// mydomain.com/flash/imgs/devil_movie/devil_movie.swf

If you don't want to install a swf player, you can open it in your browser if you would like.

File > open file ...

and locate the swf file
