Flash animations are a classic form of internet media, and can typically only be streamed from a website. If you want to watch the animation whenever you want, you'll need to save it to your computer. Though saving a flash animation isn't...
Method 1 of 6:
Viewing Page Info in Firefox
Visit the website with the animation you want. Once the animation has loaded in Firefox, right-click on the page. Make sure you're right-click on the page's background, not on the Flash object itself.
Select 'View Page Info' from the right-click menu. This will open a box with detailed information about the site you are viewing. At the top of the box, you will see a set of tabs that can display different information about the site.
Click on the Film icon. This will show a list of all of the multimedia objects that the site contains, such as button graphics and banners. It will also contain the .SWF file of the animation. Click the Type column heading in the list to sort by object type.
Find the Flash file. The movie will be in .SWF format, and will be listed as an "Object" or "Embed" in the Type column. The name of the file is often similar to the title of the animation on the website. Select it from the list and click "Save As...". Name the file whatever you would like and click Save.
Method 2 of 6:
Copying SWF Files from the Browser Cache
Open Internet Explorer. To see your Temporary Internet Files, open the Tools menu and select Internet Options. In the General tab, select Settings and then View Files. You can also search your computer for Temporary Internet Files if you're not using Internet Explorer.
Right-click and sort files by address. Locate the address of the website that you found the file on. The website may have a prefix page to it, such as farm.newgrounds.com.
Locate the files with an SWF extension. This is the extension for Flash files. These can be movies or games or even advertisements. Look for a file with a name that matches the video you are trying to download. Right-click on the file and select Copy. Paste the file in an easily accessible folder.
Method 4 of 6:
Using A Download Manager
Visit the website with the animation you want. Once the animation begins playing, the DownloadHelper icon will start rotating in the top-right corner of the window. A small arrow will appear next to it. Click the arrow to open a choice of download options.
Select the file. When you click the arrow, you will see a list of all of the media files on the page. If the animation had an advertisement, both will be listed. The animation may have a filename that doesn't match the title.
Wait for the download to finish. Once you have selected the file, the download will begin. You can check the progress in the Downloads window in Firefox. This window can be accessed by clicking the Firefox menu and clicking Downloads.
Method 5 of 6:
Using an iOS Device
Download and install an app that can play Flash files. Flash does not have any native support on iOS devices. This means that you will need an app that can play Flash files. There are several apps available on the App Store, including Puffin Browser Free, Photon Browser, and iSwifter.
Access a website with Flash using your new browser. You can't actually download Flash files from websites using iOS (unless they offer an official download option), so you'll need to use your new browser to load the Flash content while visiting the page. The performance of Flash in the browser will depend on how old your iOS device is.
Download Flash files on a computer and then transfer them to your iOS device. If you really want to be able to access Flash files on your iOS device, you'll need to download them to a computer first using one of the above methods. After you've downloaded it to your computer, you can email it to yourself or use cloud storage to transfer it to your iOS device, and then use your Flash Browser to open it.[1]
Method 6 of 6:
Using an Android Device
Download a Flash Player APK file on your Android device. Use your Android's browser to download the latest version for Android from here. This may not work on newer versions of the Android operating system.
Run the APK file after downloading it. Once the download is complete, tap it in your notification bar to begin installing it.
