I don't have a Linux answer, but I think SnagIt from Techsmith coudl do that in windows.  Basicly you would set an area of the screen for capture and tell it to make a movie.  If the Shockwave animation is played in that area, it should be captured as an avi movie.

<br>Is there a way to convert a shockwave animation to an avi file? Or something<br>playable with mplayer?<br><br>nathan<br>--<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------<br>PaysonLinux User Group
