Problem Saving Flash in Container

Post by Joe1234 »

I'm trying to save flash from http://www.brainpop.com/free_stuff/, but all Flashgot will save is a file called container.swf that does not have the video content.

From the URL above, select any movie in the top section and then click on "Click here to play the movie" to view the flash to be saved. I have Firefox 4 with the latest Flashgot from the firefox addons website.

Any ideas what is going wrong? Thanks!

Shockwave Flash is not always a stand-alone single file, so what may be seen by FlashGot may or may not be what you need to run the Flash file.
