If you don't want to get firefox or another alternate browser, you're probably out of luck.

In IE, right-click on the link and select "Save Target As..."

When you "Save Target As" it finds whatever the link is "targetting" and saves that.  You are not saving the link to the flash, you're saving the flash itself.  IE makes it entirely more annoying than it needs to be.

Also, I too recommend you find another browser.  It doesn't have to be Firefox per se, because anything is better than IE, but find something.  A lot of people I know are fond of Opera.

The way ive been successful in saving flash files is like that, right click the link and click "save target as" as stated before, if you dunno how to open em... just make the file open with IE or mozil whatever..

While we're here, does anyone know why Firefox 2.0 doesn't read flash files? It reads embedded Flashes, sure, but clicking on a *.swf brings up the download dialog.

For *you* maybe, but not for everyone else who uses 2.0.

Mostly, I simply drag the .swf icon from whatever Explorer window I see it on (obviously not fullscreen) and drop it onto any open IE window. The icon returns to it's former location, and IE plays the file. That's how I always played "Nanaca Crash" in IE. I just tried it with the Gamma Bros. game in /flash before I posted this and it worked.

Without a standalone Flash player, Windows will just complain that it doesn't know what to do with the file--even if you have the flash plugin on your browser. On my last system, a self-playing Flash animation served the purpose. These are animations with an embedded player and come with .EXE extensions. If you associate the self-playing file with .SWF, the embedded player will play the requested animation instead of the one it was tied to. Make sure the self-player you use is from the same or higher version of Flash than the files you're attempting to put through it, or it won't work.
