How to scrape flash banners?

Any idea how we can scrape flash banners?

Can you elaborate more on this?

What do you want to do with these ( save on db , save on file etc) ?

How do you want to scrape these ( standalone app , server side ) ?

for just stealing ads you see

Firefox > Tools > Page Info > Media Tab > Find the SWF > Save As

I'm referring to a simple way to capture flash ads while browsing. Angryrussian's way works.

I use this - http://www.chromeextensions.org/musi...otos/getflash/
It creates a download link next to the creative in Chrome.

I've tried doing this to export flash banners I've built in AdWords, but the only swf it lets me download is "TemplateContainer.swf" and not the actual creative. I don't know much about flash, but I guess Google is passing some parameters to templatecontainer.swf to display the correct ad rather than hosting a swf that you could download and re-use.

Anyone know how to export these banners?
