Dear sulafa,

I assume that you are using Windows; so this way of storing the Flash
file to your hard disk should work fine for you, as it did for me:

All media files you access while surfing the web are temporarily
stored in a Windows folder - this does also apply to Flash files with
disabled saving option.

Please access the site with the "Borat's American Soundboard" Flash
file, so it is temporarily stored on your hard drive.

Now, there should be a file named "borat_soundboard.swf" or
"borat_soundboard[1].swf" in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet
Files.

To easily locate it (the folder is usually filled with lots of files),
do the following:
- Click the "Start" button on your desktop's task bar (usually in the
lower left corner of your screen)
- Choose the "Search" option
- Choose "Files/Folders"
- Enter "borat" as the term to search for and choose hard drive C: to
be searched
- Click "Start"
The search will locate the Flash file and display it as a symbol.
Click it with the RIGHT mouse button and choose "Copy"

Now open any hard drive or folder you like, click with the RIGHT mouse
button on any unoccupied place on the screen and choose the "Paste"
option. The Flash file is now stored on your hard disk, and you can
access it anytime you like.

I hope this was helpful.
Best regards,
Scriptor

Hi,
In addition to Scriptor's method, you can use a download helper such
as GetRight to download the file by giving it the URL:
http://egoyk.com/flash/borat_soundboard.swf.

Or if you can somehow create a web page with a link to that particular
file, you can right-click on the link text and choose "Save Target
As..."

Hope that helps,
