Nothing on Forum Topic? Look at the Page Source.

If you look at View Source of the web page, we find...

<embed src="/flash/gfather2.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"

If they allow a download combine the web URL with the embed src above to trigger your browser to download.

http://www.robertschimmel.com/flash/gfather2.swf

The ASP is not a directory so that directive was removed. And now a right-click, save target as seems to function.

If you have a question on how to play a SWF, I will not tell you much more than to use http://www.google.com since I mainly teach fishing and don't hand out fish.
