ShrodingersCat SG

Can we do that? U see.. I wish to let my students play some simple flash games but. not all the computers in school have access to internet.

is there a way to download these games so they can play it?

If they have a download section, you should be able to download the games.

To download flash documents (.swf .flv)

There are paying softwares allowing you to download. But if you don't wanna pay..

1) Get Firefox
2) Get the extension 'VideoDownloader'. It is 1 of the top extensions of mozilla network.
3) Open up the webpage containing the flash.
4) Click on 'VideoDownloader'.
5) A popup window will show you 1 or more links.
6) Locate the flash you want either by name or extensions(.swf or .flv)
7) If .swf you can just save the link or use download managers to download it.
Cool For .flv to work, you need to change the extension from .htm to .flv

.flv (Flash Movie) can be played either by VLC player or you might like to convert it into a avi or mpg file using a converter.

This works with youtube and google video and etc too.

Hope this might help. Of course, there are many many more ways that i do not know. Laughing

oh thats extra info.

Games will be in .swf format. playable using a flash player or your browser.

but if it is a flash movie(.flv) you are downloading, use VLC

If the site permits you to do that, the site would have instruction guide to help you with that. If not, it is very likely that you are not permitted to do that. If you insist on doing it, you may be infringing copyright laws. And in Singapore, I advise you better not try that.

Instead, you should send an email to the webmaster of the site and state your request for use in education purposes, and let them grant you rights legally.
