Is it possible to grab an animation from a web site? I'm trying to grab an animation of an Endocrine System negative feedback loop (not that that means anything to most of you) and I'm wondering if it is possible.
Thanks for any help.

Not knowing how far along you are, if it is a gif image and you have gotten it to your hard drive (dragged, copy/paste or whatever) and you're looking at it in Preview, it won't animate there but you can keep clicking the Next button to flip through it. If you right-click on the file in Finder and open with Safari, it will animate it there.
Here is the link.
I have no idea if it's possible to even grab this from the site and re-use it.

I have FCE too so I was wondering, if I was able to grab it, could I use FCE or even IMovie to take a segment of it out?
Thanks,

possible, although depending on what you plan to do, you'd maybe want to check that the site owners are happy with that.
it's a Flash animation - http://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/humanbio_anims/animations/hormonal_f eedback_loops.swf
& could be saved locally, then be embedded in a webpage just as they have, or run directly in a browser or Flash player application.
ha, the error's due the software on these new forums - sorry for that
try This one
you can option-click it & should find the file is downloaded, or if the site & owners give their blessing, you could copy their embedding code & use it from there.
Hi Ehren
you can grab or reproduce most things - I take it the animation isn't simply a gif image you can drag off (?) - so what's the address ?.
Could you direct me a little further as to how I could grab it "locally" as you said.
When I click that link, I get a server error.

Thanks for your help.
For some reason I can't seem to option-click it. Maybe something is wrong on my end.
I'll take another look at it later.
Thanks again for all your help trying though.

that's odd - try a right-click on the working link & 'save file...' - it achieves the same thing.
How do I grab an animation from a web site?
