Hey. New board.

Yeah, Tom's probably right. If the flash files are nothing but video (like YouTube clips) then they're probably FLV files under the hood, but getting FLV files extracted, converted to something usable, and connected would be difficult. And if the flash files contain animations or other non-video elements, then it's impossible.

Screen-capturing is going to be your only answer.

ETA: this page might contain some more cost-effective solutions than Snapz Pro, however.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Or you can wait several months for Snow Leopard to be released: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you want a crappy free email address that you'd use to sign up for websites (and you fear you might get spammed) what's a good one to use? (I already use gmail.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I created another gmail acct for this purpose and have it forwarded to my mail gmail acct.

Years ago gmail didn't want you to have multiple gmail addresses. Have they changed their position/just don't care now?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have two.

tommy,

they don't care. I have about 4-6. as long as you don't use them for duplicate purposes or to spam. if each email address has its purpose, then they are okay with it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I use yahoo mail when I sign up for websites.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have at least 4 gmail accounts. I usually typed something different as a name and a "real" email address, but I don't know if that's strictly needed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have two -- one for Theodosia and one for the Real Name, which I can give out to possible employers, job search sites and whatnot. I get it all forwarded to Theodosia.

Gmail even lets you change the From in your replies so you don't have to change accounts.
