Watching flash videos without the internet

[Chaotic42]

Hey guys. I have a flash file that wants to connect to the internet for me to watch it. My questions are:

1. How can I watch it without it connecting to the internet (it's around 5MB, it's the whole thing)? In IE or Mozilla (Linux/Windows)
2. Could this file be... questionable legally. Since it wants to connect to the internet, I guess they may not want me to view it on my own.

Thanks for any help.

Maybe you can edit it in flash to remove the script ? Otherwise I can't see this working.

Alas I have no flash editor, unless you know of a free one.

Normally a flash file does not need to connect to the internet to play however it will most likely open in a browser as a browser would be the perferred application to open it. Are you sure that it's not your browser that is trying to connect you to the internet?

This is what I am thinking, too.

Do you mind linking us to the specific flash to check it out on our own?

CoffeeCup Firestarter or Anim-FX

Will either of those work?

I always just grab the .swf files from IE's temp internet files...the only problem is that I have to open IE to do that

Any way to grab the .swf files from firefox's cache? (or a flash save plugin?)

Bump for this question - I'm curious as well.
