    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?
  • :beer: Thanks gaming guy, I linked to the wrong app, I have used so many different screen capture software, I've lost track. Apologies to brinky

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