I have a free standalone Flash Player - with a plugin for IE - stop pause start etc buttons.

You can use the plugin to save the .swf file to your HD from the page you have gone to. Seems to not be happy with SWF version 10 files - but seems to like all others. The swf files then work like any other media file - move, copy, etc.

If anyone knows of any other such beasties, please tell me.
