Autoplay When autoplay is enabled, a suggested video will automatically play next. While it would when downloaded thru the remaining browsers. Probably a glitch, I couldn't figure out at that time. There are of course a few programs that help out Chrome with this job just like the many add-ons for FF.
Well, Adblock is not for that certainly - but is there any sense in installing one more Firefox-addon just for downloading a few files? For me not. If I want to make an offline collection of hundreds of flash games - I use an addon. So if I stumble into a good flash game or video once in months - I use a simple way but without installing another addon. You can find it in Google Chrome by typing 'about:cache' into the address bar.
It helps if you clear the cache out first. Type 'swf' 3. Keep hitting F3 till you come to the swf file you need.

This is usually the case with games and more complex animations or interactive movies.
You're right, I've seen this in many photo galleries sites, very bad. Anybody has a walkaround for this problem? But doesn't work for some sites, even with software like Orbit that are almost perfect for retrieving content from youtube, or dailymotion.
Yes, Mickey But what's surprising is that this fact is so difficult to establish. In fact, it's not even mentioned in the SWF specification doc which is pages long!!! The most simple way to do this is use the Firefox extension Downloadhelper. Easily download just about any media without opening backend windows.
I also use the Downloadhelper extension for Firefox. It really is the simplest way to capture flash video - what could be easier than clicking the extension's browser icon and saving the flash file?

Using the selection also helps if there are more than one video on the page. Click on the Flash video which gets highlighted in blue.
Correspondingly, the object path is also selected in the code. Select the URL and paste it in the address bar of Chrome, and then open it again. Open the drop-down Chrome menu Customize and control Google Chrome from the top-right and click on Save page a s. Save the flash video to your computer disk.
On any empty part of the page, right-click and select the Page Info context menu option. Or alternatively, go to Tools — Page Info. The Page Info box has five tabs. Select the Media tab. As long as the page has any media in it, the Media tab lists all image elements like icons, style sheets and Flash files on the particular webpage.
