Due to Firefox's built-in tool that allows you to access Flash objects, Firefox is the preferred browser for downloading SWF files.
Go to the Flash video or game you want to download. Open the website on which your Flash game or video is hosted. Enable Flash content if necessary. If the game doesn't immediately load, click the prompt or notification to enable Flash, then click Allow or Enable if prompted to confirm your choice.
This will reload the page. Wait for the Flash item to load. This is necessary in order to ensure that all of the correct SWF files are loaded in the page. Start the game.
If you're downloading a Flash game, click the Play or similar button to prompt the game to start. This will allow your browser to find the correct SWF files. Right-click a blank part of the page.
A drop-down menu will appear. On a Mac, hold down Control while clicking a blank part of the page. Make sure you aren't right-clicking the game window itself. Click View Page Info. It's in the drop-down menu. A pop-up window will appear. If you don't see this option, you probably right-clicked an ad or a piece of the game window. Right-click a different part of the page. Click the Media tab. This option is at the top of the pop-up window.
Doing so displays all of the images, backgrounds, and Flash objects on the page. Look for a SWF file. Scroll down the pop-up window until you find a file with "Object" listed in the "Type" column, then check the file's name to see if it matches the name of the video or game you want to download.
Click Save As…. It's in the lower-right side of the pop-up window. The file will begin downloading onto your computer. You may need to select a save location or confirm this decision before proceeding.
Wait for the SWF file to finish downloading. Once the file is on your computer, you can proceed. Try opening the SWF file. You can use a free program to open and play the SWF file.
If the file plays correctly, you've successfully downloaded the right SWF file. If your downloaded SWF file doesn't open or isn't the correct file, you'll need to go back and try a different "Object" file. If there are no more "Object" files, your SWF file can't be downloaded. Method 2. If the game doesn't immediately load, click the Click to enable Adobe Flash Player section, then click Allow when prompted.
Some sites will have a different button e. When watching a video or playing a game online, you're probably viewing an embedded Flash or SWF file. This is done by way of a plug-in that has been installed in your browser. Click the 'View Files' button. Locate the SWF file that you want to save in the files list. Right-click on it, then choose 'Copy'. Open the folder where you want to save the SWF file. Select the 'Media' tab.
Use the scroll bar to navigate the file list and locate the SWF file. You may click the 'Type' column header to sort the files in the list. SWF and other Flash files will be listed under the 'Embed' file type. Choose a save location on your computer and click the 'Save' button.
Step 2. Click "Download" button and paste video URL in the address box. Or you can watch the videos with the built-in browser online and the videos will be downloaded at the same time. Step 3. There is a little green arrow on the right bar. Click it to open the wait-to-select panel. You can choose the video with the appropriate resolution. Then click the download icon. Step 4. You can check the downloading videos under the "Downloading" panel. After the completion of downloading, then you can see the video files on your computer.
As mentioned above, the biggest disadvantage of SWF files is that the format is not very compatible. It's not easy to open an SWF file on your computer without some other additional program or plugin added, not to mention on other devices like smart phones or tablets.
So is there a way to make the SWF file more compatible? Is it possible to convert an SWF file to other formats that are more common in our lives so that we can view them or share them a little easier? Well, there surely is.
Out of all the video converter programs out there in the market these days, the one that I want to recommend is the program called Leawo Video Converter Ultimate , which is a handy utility Pro SWF Video Converter that can perfectly convert SWF to video and audio format files.
Click Change under the format drop down menu and go to the Profile panel. You can view and choose the target output video or audio format here. Click the Convert button on the toolbar and set a directory to save the output file in the local drive.
Then hit the Convert button at the bottom to kick off the conversion process. A window will appear to let you track down the conversion progress in real time.
You can find your converted files from the local drive.
