getting the .SWF directory of a flash

The Bollox · 22-02-2006 12:13PM #1

I am trying to get a certain flash for my Bebo account, but I can't figure out how to get the direct link, all I can get is the page where the flash is found. how do you get the link to the flash itself?

view the source of the page. then do a search for ".swf" thats the file you want. you may need to add that filename to the directory your currently in in your address bar.

Alternatively you can find the file in your temp internet files. Presuming your using IE.

great, thanks lads!

EDIT:

I still have a problem with it.

I went to http://www.amishdonkey.com/history-of-the-f-word to get that flash, went to the source code and got swf/hhtrm/fword.swf, put them together and Bebo won't accept it. it is frustrating, lol, so close yet so far

That video is already available on bebo,however if it is not the same one download it and upload it to youtube.

you will get a url like so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuOGL5c1c1A

just edit it like so http://www.youtube.com/player.swf?video_id=tuOGL5c1c1A
