    by the looks of it, that will just do a screenshot of the screen and not save the flash file like the OP wants.

    have you tried opening the source code for the page (view > source/page source) and pressing ctrl+f and typing .swf in the search box?

    cam studio WILL do the trick, still freeware but a bit bigger!
