how do i download a flash game

[Ulfwald]

How can I download or capture a flash game from a website? My son is clicking everything on the pages and is opening tons of stuff that is not needed.

IIRC if you have a "download manager" program or any way to download a file directly (WGET would work too maybe) you can check the source of the parent page and find the .swf file that points to the flash animation/game, then point your downloader program to it...

No better way AFAIK

adblock, click, copy swf

or just search for the filname in google and save target as.

or look in your browser cache

What I do (using IE):

1) View > Source, find the location of the swf file (search for .swf)
2) create a html file in notepad and use html link tag to create a direct link (<a href="URL">linktext</a> )
3) Open link, right click, save as.

Post the link here, for the site where the game is contained.

Get Firefox > go to the Web Page containing the game > Tools > Page Info > Media > look in the list for your game, and Save as... :thumbsup:

Same here. Except I use Firefox.
