Want to save 100%-flash webpage 4 browsing offline, but

I would like to save a 100%-FLASH webpage for browsing offline, such that I do not have to connect to the internet at all to view the webpage on my computer. I've looked through many sources with little avail.

By 100%-flash, I mean that the webpage has nothing but ONLY flash on it.

No matter what I try; saving the page using Save Page As, the Save Flash program, using the Download Embedded Addon; I am unable to save the webpage.

All that I am able to save is this Loader.swf, which is the blue background of the website, even though the website is highly interactive.

I have tried looking through the Firefox cache but I am only able to view the bits of pieces of the website. I am unable to save them at all.

Sidetracking a bit to IE (though IE sucks)
So I ended up looking through my Temporary Internet Files of IE and I managed to find some bits and pieces of the website AND save them, though I am unable to get them to work together. Some of the swf files I managed to recover show me nothing but blank space.

Moving back to the topic, I hoping that this bit of info below can help you better understand the problem.
From looking through my Temp Files, I realized that the website uses a mix of swf, xml, css, jpg and js loaded from a couple of different directories.

Does anyone know what to do in this situation in order to be able to save the website?

You might want to take a look over here to know what I've already tried but still failed:
How can I save the webpage for browsing offline? • mozillaZine Forums

Pretty sure there is an addon for Firefox that will do this. I can't search for it at the monent. But you should be able to find it if you browse/search through them.

Does anybody know which addon can do this? I haven't found one that successfully does it.

What is the website URL?

As mentioned before (in this thread How can I save the webpage for browsing offline? • mozillaZine Forums), these are one of the toughest-to-save 100%-flash websites. If you are able to perfectly save them for offline browsing, you'd probably be able to save many other webpages for offline browsing perfectly:

Pokmon
Pokémon GTS
The Official Pokmon Website | Pokmon.com [this is the one with the Loader.swf, the other 4 sites can't be saved as well]
Pokmon Platinum Version
Pokémon Ranger : Shadows of Almia

After a little Googling I found this - "DRM and digital media protection with Flash Media Server". It describes how this product protects content form people like Raven

Thanks. It's not exactly working well in the trial version - the website isn't viewable properly offline as bits and pieces are missing
And after "downloading" only one small incomplete part of the website, it doesn't work anymore.
It keeps giving me this message: "Trial version allows you to DOWNLOAD ONLY 200 FILES in one project" even though I tried creating a new project.

Are there any other recommended programs?

bump... can someone please help?

I pay ~$50/mo for a Sprint data card. That way I don't have to be "offline".

Erm, your post is completely off topic?
So what happens when the website is taken down? Your card becomes completely useless because you can't access the website no matter how many million Sprint data cards you have.

What you'd have to do is basically rebuild that page on your harddrive.
I used to do that before I had high speed internet access.

Try HTTrack Website Copier...but be warned...some sites are REALLY big

Oh man... HTTrack only managed to save the "now loading" menu.
It didn't manage to save anything else

Are there any other solutions? I'm at my wits' end

Edit: I don't know if this will help, but here's more information:

When I visit the webpage via the Internet, through IE8, the page loads perfectly and there are no messages about Active X.

When I clicked on "Browse Mirrored Website" in HTTrack and the "webpage" was opened on IE8, the flash didn't load properly (only the bottom bar loaded) and this message appeared:
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options.

After I clicked "Allow Blocked Content", only the "now loading" menu appeared and that was it. It stayed stuck there (the animation continued in its loop) and neither the rest of the flash nor the sounds and music got loaded at all.

like I wrote you need to include .flv and possibly .sfw. in the settings. those filetypes weren't around when httrack was programmed

I'm using the HTTrack version that was released in 2010. I think flash should be included.

Oh. Why didn't I think of that term? I've been trying to search for a program using the terms "download website".

Anyway, I tried googled "offline browser" and tried out the programs.

1. HTTrack managed to grab only a few files and that was it.

2. Backstreet Browser was absolutely useless. Nothing was grabbed.

3. WebCopier Pro 5.4 was the best. The only program that has ever managed to grab a video off the site and a few more pictures than the other programs. However, that was it.
There's no htm file for me to click in my Windows folder (that the program downloded the files into). There is also no guide as to how I can load the webpage I've downloaded using it.
(I copied the log and pasted it at the end of this message.)

4. Webstripper, renamed as PageNest, managed to grab enough files to load into the secnd "now loading" menu. That was the first time I tried using it.
After I changed the save directory and used PageNest to download the webpage again, something was wrong and I couldn't even get the first "now loading" page.


still stuck with no progress after a year. can anyone help? thanks
