Saving SWF files : How To

Why i wanted to save an SWF (Flash File):

Today i found a quick way to save flash files using firefox (once they are cached). I started using Immem (rox...lot of music and videos). Being behind a firewall i cant use the software they provide so my only way of accessing immem is through there web interface. Each time i have to play a song in my playlist i have to wait for it to buffer. Then i realised what if i stored the cache for a later use. so i had to store the SWF file once all the songs get buffered. I donno if this works are not but to save a SWF file is simple in firefox.

How 2:

The LAME PERSON way :
#1:
-- Open a website containing a SWF file (any of your favourite flash game site will do)

::: www.107.peugeot.co.uk/­peugeot.swf

#2:
-- Once the SWF file is loaded, see the 'Media' section of 'page info' and look for TYPE 'object' or 'embed' (there will be many types like, Image, Background... look for a '.swf' extension in the Address column)

::: Firefox -> Tools -> Page Info -> Media (tab)
Select this row -
::: Address - http://www.107.peugeot.co.uk/peugeot.swf
Type - Embed
::: Save As.. (choose a location on your harddisk)

Thats all...you can use the SWF file when ever you wish later..ofcourse you need FLASH

A more NERD way :

#1:
--- Open a website that contains a SWF file

::: www.107.peugeot.co.uk/­peugeot.swf

#2:
--- Now see the cache of FIREFOX

::: about:cache?device=disk

#3:
--- Search for the website name, or flash file name, or .swf extension

::: Ctrl+F -> peugeot (check for .swf ectension in the link)
::: Right click -> Save Link As..


PS: The second way some how is lot cool
