Greetings,

Is there a way to catch a flash tutorial with firefox or opera plug in?
I'd like the learnopenoffice.org tutorials on my hard drive.

Thanks, Mark

Goto web site and watch the flash animation to its end.
Goto cache4 folder in Opera, sort the folder after date.
Then you should see a big file close to the top which is the flash
file.
It can have the file extension .fl .flv or swf or something like it.

Copy it to another folder, use Opera as flash player if you don't have
another.
That's what I do.

There are converters between flash format and other movie formats if
you want to take it apart and edit it.

Firefox cache is similar but does not show the right file extension, so
you have to add that yourself.

I saved a file called nurnburgring.swf in this way and watch it
sometimes. It is from a Porsche driving one lap on nurnburgring, with a
real pro driver, fun to watch :-)

Correction:
Maybe flash animations are downloaded fully before the animations
starts playing, so you do not have to let it play to the end, but this
advice is valid for other movie formats when the playing starts before
the full file has been downloaded.

In general:
Keep an eye on the cache, the temporary internet files for your
browser, and you can find and save stuff you cannot save in other ways.
Both Opera and Firefox use their own cache folder, so these files are
not in the Windows/temporary internet files folder. That folder is used
by MS IE.
 
In Firefox, let the flash download, then click on "Tools" , Page
Info,Media tab, save.............

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you're looking for ... Flash
Saving Plugin

"Lets you easily save Flash movies from Internet Explorer (and any IE
based browser) . Adds a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar to let
you save Flash movies loaded on the web page being viewed (a new item
added to the IE context menu for IE based browsers). Can save all Flash
movies on the web page. Has Flash gallery viewing mode that displays all
Flash movies on the web page along with their URLs, file sizes and last
modification dates. Flash Saving Plugin comes with SWF Cache Viewer - a
program to view and save Flash movies cached by Internet Explorer and
Mozilla Firefox. Some web sites open Flash movies in a popup window
without the toolbar, thus making it impossible to use the button or the
context menu command. That's where SWF Cache Viewer comes in handy.
Saving Flash movies from the web is no chore if you have Flash Saving
Plugin installed!"
