saving e-mail

Sent my wife a beautiful e-mail card from Hallmark website. It has music and shifting scenery. She wants to save it to a floppy; try as I may I cannot work this out. Hallmark is unavailable directly (I tried to get them to see if I could purchase the file on a disk. Only thing on the web site is FAQ's and there it states it cannot be done at this time. Is there a genius out there that can prove them wrong?

 

Thanks for the fast response Tony. Apparently I cannot post attachments so have added the web site below:

When the card is loaded and playing, click File>Save As and save it as a complete webpage. This will download the Flash content to your hard drive. I just tried it and the card is playing on my HD.

 

Tried your suggestion; both when it said "click to play" and after it started playing. I must be doing something wrong because when I click on File>Save As, it saves the file OK with a file name of nfg_1425receive.jsp. Nowhere do I see an option to save it as a complete web page. I am using Netscape 4.7; could this be the problem?

 

That's the way it's done in IE. I haven't the foggiest idea how it could be done in Netscape, but if you have IE on your computer too, then maybe you could switch over temporarily, & save it like Shadowhawk said.

I'm not so sure you'll have anything when you get done. I think it will always require support from the site server that created it in order to load and play.

I tried it on my main box (got IE6) and created the file, placed it on a floppy and tried to run it on another machine that wasn't connected via cable and it immediately tried to dial up the ISP as soon as I ran it. It wouldn't load up and play at all if i refused the connection.

Go figure.

 

Hello again,

I have saved cards that way before, but not from Hallmark.

I saved yours after my previous post & tried to run it & it did the same thing to me as to Zephyr. Popped the connect window up & when I closed that window it would not load the card. Wonder why it played on Shadowhawk's & not ours? Hmmmmmm!

However, I must say that your wife must have loved it. You could teach my hubby a lesson or two.

You may notice that shadowHawk has a cable modem so probably didn't realize he was connecting. It works that way on mine too so I unhooked the cable and it wouldn't play.

 

That definitely would explain it. You have to disconnect from the server to try something like that out.
If I had remained connected, it definitely would have loaded & played.

Thanks for pointing that out to me that Hawk had cable. I must have somehow missed him saying he had cable.

I'd like to have cable, but I live out in the countryside & there isn't any such thing out here, so I have to suffer with dial up.

Deloris.
