Internet Tips
Capture Shockwave File
Want to capture a Shockwave animation for offline viewing? It's easy to accomplish this task because the Shockwave file runs from your hard disk. After browsing to the site containing the Shockwave animation (Flash) that you'd like to capture, choose Start, Find, Files or Folders ( Start, Search, For Files or Folders in Windows Me and 2000) and enter *.swf as your search criterion. The file should appear in your browser's cache. You'll probably have to open several of the found files to figure out which one you want. Then either copy and paste or drag it into the folder of your choice. As long as the .swf file type is associated with your browser, you can play the animation simply by double-clicking it.
