You know how when you load a webpage and it loads up a swf flash object that you can play over and over again? It's stored someone on the harddrive in your temp files.
Well in XP I can't seem to find where this is :'(
Easy to find in 98 but atm impossible in XP, anyone know where I can find these 'hidden' files? Btw, I'm using Firefox.
Man I hate XP!
In Firefox, I usually right-click, "View Page Info", click Media tab, search for the SWF file under the "embed" category, then just copy/paste the relative URL of the file to the current displayed address. Save it to HD, then load it up in my browser (or Flash player if you got the Macromedia Flash studio)
Could always do a search on the source-file of the website in question and do a search on ".swf". As for playing cache'd stuff, cant recall off the top of my head here.
Speaking of Firefox, good to see 2.0 is on it's way, alpha1 was just released, though I aint touching it till beta, usually means all my extension/themes wont work with said version.

Firefox will cache them but it gives the file a random filename so you won't be able to find it.
Speaking of Firefox 2.0, igLoader is compat :D
I found it eventually. Just did a search for files on the entire harddrive, larger than 1 meg and within the day and then looked at the files created within the last 5-10 mins.
It stores all the crap in application data in the my documents directory. But yeah, it was a nonsensical randomly named file, but when I renamed it to .swf and dragged it into Firefox, it worked fine. :)
> wget is your friend.
You mean just save the entire site :)
Wget is only for linux though isn't it? I was always a big fan of ncfpt too.

Well that, or just the flash bit - wget is a GNU tool, so there's bound to be a Windows port of it somewhere.
