How to save picture from flash

How to save picture from flash

I'm sure there is some simple way to save these two pictures from this url http://www.antikvarijat-phoenix.com/odabrana-djela-augusta-strindberga-1-10-knjiga-920. Those are pictures of books when you click on smaller one, larger ones appear.

Hit the PrintScreen key and paste into an image editor to crop it.

Install FastStone Capture (ver 5.3 is Freeware).

Use the clip tools built-in to Windows Vista or Windows 7.

I was more thinking about some elegant solution, ps+paste was measure of last resort : ) but thanks anyway!

If you save the flash as .flv or .mp4, you can open and play it in a player that can take pictures from chosen frames. Such a player is e.g. MPlayer.

That's even more harsh way of doing this : ))

FastStone Capture (or any dedicated Screen Capture utility) is a much more elegant solution than printscreen, paste, crop, save.

1. You can select the area when taking the snapshot. The shortcut is customisable, but I use Shift Printscreen to capture a rectangular area.
2. The snapshot opens in the FastStone editor or can be saved directly to a file on disk.
3. Annotation can be added, or the area can be cropped more precisely.
4. PNG file compression is better than average
5. A flash file may contain only one image, or many. Without opening the *.swf file in an editor and extracting the frames, you can just take a screen shot of what you need.

Again, I'm not for installing some app for this to work. I was more thinking of some script/extension way of solving this lack of "save image" feature.
I know all about those methods, so please don't bring them up again as they're not type of solution I'm looking for.

These pictures?

Yes!
How did you pull them out? That's my question in the first place, so I can do it by myself in the future if needed.

They don't use Flash; they use javascript. Just disable javascript. With javascript disabled, clicking on the preview will instead open a direct link to the image.

You can temporarily disable javascript a few different ways. Here is one:

Opera > Preferences > Quick Preferences > uncheck Enable JavaScript

Yeah, thanks a lot!

Actually, it's even easier than that.

You can just click on the image and when the big image pops up you can just right click on it and save the image.

But it is good for users to know how to disable javascript since some sites use it to disable copying.

You can also try using Dragonfly (right click, inspect element) to find various resources. But that might take a bit more digging.

You cannot. It opens in a lightbox, and the right-click option is not available. I don't see how disabling javascript is an elegant solution, and using Dragonfly to find the image URL is even worse. AFAIK neither solution will work for images that are embedded in Flash — you would just save the flash file, which in photo galleries will contain many images.

JS can be easily disabled via Quick Preferences menu, that's very fast and if it does job, I'm satisfied.

I had to go back and look at it again, because I just definitely did it when I posted that.

What seems to happen is if you're quick enough and right click before the lightbox is completely finished (before the slide numbers show up) then you can get the context menu with options to open the image. But once the lightbox is finished drawing then the right-click options for opening the image are no longer available.
