Saving images on the internet is a rather easy task for any user, whether computer novice or computer expert. All you have to do is simply right-click the image and select "save image as" in order to download it to your computer. However, the same can't be said when it comes to downloading flash files, most commonly saved with the .swf extension. Hopefully this guide will help shed some light on how to transfer online .swf files to your computer.

First, we'll look at the easier of the two browsers, Mozilla Firefox. Compared to Chrome, downloading an.swf file from Firefox is very easy.

Firefox

Right-click the background of the webpage that plays the flash. DO NOT right-click the flash itself, or any clickable links or pictures.
Select 'View Page Info' from the right-click menu. A new window should appear.
Click the 'Media' tab at the top of the new window.
Look through the address box until you find the address with the .swf file extension. Also, be careful that the file is the actual file you want. Some pages have multiple .swf files. You can usually tell which file you want by looking at its address.
Click on the .swf file you want to select it. Click the 'Save As' button, and choose where you want the file to be saved on your computer. You should now have the .swf file on your computer.
Unfortunately, unlike Firefox, Google Chrome doesn't have a 'View Page Info' option as far as I'm aware. Downloading .swf files from Chrome is trickier and more complicated. There doesn't seem to be any consistent way to successfully download .swf files from Chrome (without the help of a third party program), and whether a downloading method works or not seems to depend on the site you're trying to save from. My preferred method that I discovered while messing around has been the most successful for me, but even that has certain sites it won't work on.

Chrome

Right-click the background of the webpage that plays the flash. DO NOT right-click the flash itself, or any clickable links or pictures.
Select 'Inspect Element' from the very bottom of the right-click menu. Either a new window or a docked window should appear (depending on what your settings are; for the sake of this list, we'll say it's separate).
Click the 'Resources' tab at the top.
Type '.swf' in the search bar in the upper right hand corner and press enter. Typically, the first result is the address you want, though that may not always be the case. If you continue to press enter while the search bar is selected, it will highlight the next instance of the .swf extension. Do this until you find the address you're looking for.
Once you find the address you want, right-click on the page it's on, and select 'Inspect Element'. A new window should appear.
Making sure that the 'Elements' tab is selected in the new window, type '.swf' in the search bar, and press enter. Again, typically the first result is the right link, but sometimes you need to press enter more than once to find it.
Find an .swf address (the one you want) that is clickable, and click it. It should open up a new tab in Chrome, containing nothing but the flash you want to download.
Click the wrench button in the top right corner (Chrome's customization and control button), and select 'Save page as'. Since the only contents of the page is the .swf file, the page will be saved as an .swf file.
Step 3 Alternative: If this exact method doesn't work, try looking for a clickable .swf address in the 'Elements' tab of the first window. If one is found, right-click to highlight it, then select 'Inspect Element' again. Then continue through steps 6-8 as you normally would.

In the end, a user might find it easier to try finding and installing an extension for Chrome that finds .swf files and downloads them, or to simply open the page with Firefox and use the method listed earlier. If anyone has any other methods they like to use for Chrome without the use of a third party, feel free to let me know.
