Can anyone on my flist capture a flash film from a website? If so could you get one for me?

I can try. Where is the film located?

Thanks for offering! It's at:

It's the first link in the movie list: A Rejuvenation of Trains

Hmm, can't crack the source file the javascript is pulling from. I suspect the flash window is pulling a MOV or WMV file from another source, but when I checked all the HTML pages I couldn't find the original source. Most of the time, when you see something like this, the original file is actually an hour-long news program and the script tells the page where to start and end the video.

I tried about five different things - this ones hard to crack, but I have no doubt someone can do it. Just not me.

I was able to screen capture the video in AVI without sound. Let me know if that's something you might want and I'll upload it for you.

Thanks so much for giving it a shot. I just got an e-mail from someone who was able to do it (not idea how!) and I'm downloading it now :-)

Quinn,

I just screencapped a picture from a Flash site using Ultra Snap. You can find it at http://www.mediachance.com
