    I'm trying to save this website, withouth sucess:

    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/products/collaboration/

    It uses not only swf, but javascript as well.

    Any ideas if it's possible to save it, including the detail parts some descriptions have, and make it work offline?

    Also, would it be possible to edit it, and translate all japanese text?

    I think there are websites that will allow you to rip flash files directly from an HTML, and there are also programs that will convert SWF files to FLA files so you can edit them. I've never attempted this myself, though.

    Also, you should probably change the title, as it sounds like you're referring to this site.

    Only noticed this know that you mentioned :110:

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    On the site, i managed to save the main SWF menu that has all the cars and basic info, using Download Embedded plugin from firefox.

    The problem is the Detail part, as it opens a window inside that SWF and load some text and pictures.

    I don't know nothing about Shockwave and Flash stuff, that's why i'm asking what to do. Maybe it's a code inside that main SWF that loads another one on top?

    I tried opening the file on Flash MX, but a window appears saying "Can't open a protected file"

    Hello Johnny;

    After save the swf (index.swf) I opened this file with "Sothink SWF Decompiler", with this program you can see everything inside the SWF (and download, only the images, shapes, etc ...), and you can also save in flash format (but all the time gives me error...), anyway, taking a look at the MainMovies actionscripts I found this:

    var folder = "/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail"

    so the details calls others swf, inside a clipmovie, in poor words, to see the details is necessary the others swf files... have you been able to download the details swf's?

    Thanks for the info alexbrasil. With this, i managed to find the location of the other swf and the pictures, and save them.

    All detail pages start with:

    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/

    Each one has a number ( 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 17, 20, 25, 31)

    So, for example:

    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/photo/1.jpg
    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/photo/2.jpg
    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/photo/3.jpg
    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/photo/4.jpg
    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/photo/5.jpg
    http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/lightbox.swf

    I saved them all. Any idea if it's possible to merge each detail page on the main file, making just one swf?

    so, now recreate the path, so if you put the main swf (index.swf) in a folder (for example create a folder named "gt") inside this folder create these folders:
    gt/jp/images/swf/20070717_collaborations/detail/3/ inside the folder "3" place the files (ligthbox.swf and the images) ;-)

    I have forgotten to tell you, inside folder "3" insert the file ligthbox.swf, and create a new folder "photo" (inside folder "3") to put the images... and tadaaaaa works!

    Hi Johnny;

    Sorry for the delay, but I don't have internet at home... anyway, I've donwloaded everything and put all files in the "right place" if you want send me your e.mail and I'll send to you a zip file... :thumbsup:

    ps. the swf files of details are easy to open and re-edit, so if someone translate the texts we'll be able to create a version in english (only details, the main movie I can't re-edit)

    Why not upload the ZIP to the forum for the good of all, or might we be infringing if we were to do that?

    It's great that the detail parts can be edited. Anyone wanna help to translate it?

    I guess there's no problem.
