how to download movie embeded inside a flash movie...

[John Jay Smith]

Hi,

this page for example has a flash animation, however the other part of the
movie showing the msn messenge icon is loaded as an external swf movie and
embeded inside the first flash movie (this is called load movie action in
flash).

http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us

does anyone know how to find where this embeded movie is comming from so I
can download it? Perhaps a program that can detect the
location of this second movie?

I used a program to decompile the swf but there is no apparent reference to
where it loads the other embeded movie from..


thanks

Well, I tried it and can see two animations. One has the tab and the
other is the messenger thing with the turning pages. I use the IE
version.

I tried again after you said, and no there is only one movie listed and this
does not include the
internal movie. see screenshot

Try the cache viewer. I am home now and don't have it installed here.

There, maybe you'll start using IE instead of Firesux now!

I use avantbrowser as my main browser (that is based on IE) and FF for some
things
