Is there some site I cannot rip the swf file?

most of the commercial site with flash, when I look into HTML source code, they don’t include link to swf file directly.

some site include javascript like - AC\_RunActiveContent.js

any way to rip those flash swf files?

there is but within reason I shouldn’t tell you, but the answer is close… _looks shifty and runs away_

you may not be able to do so if the JS drags the swf into the page
