Hi guys,

I have a client who is insistent on having this appraiser video that is on his template site on his new site that I am building for him. Without it he doesn't want to do the site with me. I have the url to the .swf and everything, but I can't download it. I want to add it to a part of the page so that it can be viewed on the site I'm building him but come directly from the template site. Is there a way to do this. When I tried to have Dreamweaver do it it won't work. I'm stumped and I really don't want to have to refund the guy his partial payment.

Thanks 8)

Normally you should be able to call the file into another sites page, I've done it before. Might be worth checking if he has and anti leeching script or .htaccess on the template site that's preventing you. Otherwise can't you FTP in and download it?

Hi,

You'll have some luck with the free version of Orbit Downloader. Try the grab ++ feature to get hold of flv and swf files etc.

great thanks guys. The client is paying for the template too and will continue because it has some benefits that i can't provide but his template can't be found on google which is bad.

That's very complicated. Easiest thing to do is make a .html file that contains a direct link to the .swf file, then view this html file in a browser, right click and download.

okay here's the thing. the flash is a multipart document it wasn't put all together in one document. so i'm going to have to repiece the whole thing together. I wish there was a way to refer to the page. Oh I don't know. :pp

to download a .swf file in Firefox, right click anywhere on the page, and go to "view page info". Then go to media, scroll down until you see the file you want (it normally is the only embedded one) and click "save as"

(btw, i use FF3, so i dont know if it works on FF2)
