manganate Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 On some web pages you may be lucky and can download the file after changing .html to .swf If this doesn't work, the free firefox add-in DownloadThemAll usually works by displaying embedded downloadable video links. But, this may only download a video container (small swf), not the real file. In this case you need to find the config.xml file to get the name of the real video swf (See below).

willtrader Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Re: How To Download Embedded SWFs (e.g. Camtasia videos) Alternate option is to run a packet sniffer across applicable card scanning for media files with suffix swf. Useful when link is obfuscated or not viewable in source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manganate Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Re: How To Download Embedded SWFs (e.g. Camtasia videos) I prepared a pdf explaining in detail what to do. As the example, I used links to ultimate swing trader videos, which some ppl here found difficult to download. http://www.4*shared.com/file/117915195/474827f8/Manganate.html (Remember to remove *) Freddie and learningfx 2 Quote When mind lingers in one place efficiency is lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manganate Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Re: How To Download Embedded SWFs (e.g. Camtasia videos) do u know if realplayer do this...? Like other players, realplayer will only play what it downloads. You have to go on a hunting exercise once you've found the container.

monkeybrain Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I use firefox under Tools>Page Info>Media. Scroll down the addresses one by one and to look for the one with *.swf extension. Then press the " Save as " button.... you got it! dk1aussie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
