I think this is more browser oriented than Flash MX, so I’m posting here. I’ve got a web page that’s [site.com/thing.swf](http://site.com/thing.swf) I want to save this to my hard drive, can I do it? I’m using IE6. If this is illegal or I shouldn’t do this, I’ll delete the thread. ---

you need an swf compiler, that way you can right click and save. but you might be able to somehow dl it another way too. ---

i don’t see why there would be anything wrong with this…as long as you don’t plan to pass the SWF off as your own or anything. what you need to do is find out the full path of the swf…for example: [http://www.espn.com/sports.swf](http://www.espn.com/sports.swf) or something like that then put a link to it somewhere on a website: [a href=“[http://www.espn.com/sports.swf](http://www.espn.com/sports.swf)”]sports[/a] then upload the page, right click on the link, and select “save target as” boom! you have the SWF…there may be an easier way to do this, but I know this will work. -teet ---

well, you save it to your harddrive, and after that you can decompile it to smaller parts, actionscript/sound and everything else. ---
