Does Flash matter on mobile?
What is Twitter?There are dozens of websites to play online Flash games, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to play them when you have no Internet connection available? In fact, it's easier than it seems. Just follow these simple steps and you'll be able to download Flash games to your hard drive and play them offline in no time.
1. First of all, open the web page where the game you want to download is stored. Copy the URL to the clipboard, and then open a new tab to browse to File2HD.com.
2. File2HD.com extracts all the files you see on a web page. Paste the address in the URL field, tick agreement checkbox and filter the contents by Objects. The page will display a list of all available files, from which you have to identify the SWF that corresponds to the game. Right click on it and save it to your hard drive.
3. Now that you have the SWF on your computer, it's time to turn it into a playable file. Download and install FlashOffliner. When you run the program, click on the system tray icon and select Create new FlashOffliner package.
4. Fill in the fields with the required information (game name, SWF file) and press Start Packing. This will create a FOP file in the selected output folder.
5. When done, go back to FlashOffliner's system tray icon but this time select Install FlashOffliner package. Select the FOP file you just created in the previous step and the game will be automatically added to FlashOffliner's menu.
6. Time to play!
Hello Elena, I followed your directions 1 and 2 then RightClickToSaveTheFile > SaveLinkAs > saved the swf file double clicked on it and it was ready to play, without the need of FlashOffliner Package Creator. I was pleased but surprised....I'm not normally that lucky. So, am I missing the point of the rest of the exercise? Cheers George :o)
Hi George! Yes, you're lucky :) That trick you used works sometimes, but for other more complex games you'd need to download extra files to make the game work. FlashOffliner takes care of that and includes them in the package. Cheers!
Hi Elana I have downloaded FlashOffliner and did everything ,but as soon as i right click on a game , i get a blue screen with 'Navigation to the webpage was canceled' and 'What you can try: Retype the address.' What am i doing wrong ,please help Thanx
why doesnt when i presses make game file, IT DOESNT WORK IT SAYS CANT FIND
file2hd doesn't catch the game file from some web sites like kongregate. those games are loaded from another swf file on the page. Also don't bother with browser add-ons/extensions I recommend this tool flashgamedownloader.com It really catches all swf's and you just double click and play it.
