Hi,
I have certain Online Flash based Tutorials which I can access Online. Is there any way I can take backup of the screens or download the Flash animation So that I can view the tutorials without being online.
Thanks,
Ravi Modi

depending on your brwoser there are several ways.
if you're using firefox, you can try the VideoDownloader extension or manually search for the files in the browser cache.
C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Cache\
the files in this folder have random names and no extension. search by date/time and size (flash videos are usually amongst the largest files in the cache) for possible video files and rename (e.g. tutorial1.FLV) and copy them to the destination of your choice.
firefox must be closed or the files will be locked.

I have searched the Temp Folder but couldn't find any files having flash videos. I have also searched the folders with my computer's current date & time but there were no files which are compatible with flash player. Also I have noticed that as the flash animation was progressing there were no additional files created in temp folder.
I am giving the website link from where you can view the tutorials & see if it is saving on your computer.
go to site http://humanflash.com/ and select Free Demo button to start the tutorial.

You could try entering their URL into a program such as YouTubeDownloader
The URL for the specified demo is shown by going to View, Source and is:
"/demo/compiere261_oraclexe_fc7_1.html"
By adding their original page to the begining of it (humanflash.com)you get the actual link:
http://humanflash.com/demo/compiere261_oraclexe_fc7_1.html.The specified downloader is designed for .flv files and I do not know what that site is running but might be worth a try. Using that program you can convert .flv to .wmv (Windows Media Files).
That program is free.

I'm not a Firefox specialist but I was told that Firefox stores their FLV and other files in their version of the Index.dat file. If you have internet explorer, some of the flash tutorials are stored in .SWF file extension. You will have to use a file converter to change the flv files into mpegs or avi or etc...
The Internet Explorer temp files are in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Profile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files. You can get that far in Windows Explorer but from there you have to type another slash at the end of Temporary Internet Files then \content.ie5 before you can see the subfolders. If you have IE7, then you are screwed.
