So you are trying to open an image you have on your computer, but it is in a file extension that your computer can not open?

If so, PM me the pic and I bet I could open it and reformat it to .jpg for you

If it's not in the 71 galleries of game action or the appx 50 galleries broken down by player names then use the Contact Us  link to get in touch with them, they're in the business of selling photos.

I PMed you back. It's the same exact resolution as found on the site. All I did was take a screenshot then cropped out the website. I tried resizing it to a slightly bigger version which I will also send, but there is a point where resizing it too large will create pixelation.

flash slideshows either embed the content or reference it from a web server location



This protects the image from normal web harvest methods and usually only permits a screen snap




you will only get a low rez version as displayed

I think I got it at a better quality using a different method.

If you have Vista go to Accessories and click on Snipping Tool. This lets you outline something and save it as an image file. I use it all the time to save images that can't be normally saved.

This is a bit higher resolution than a screen capture of the flash

I used a packet capture to see what the flash app was doing. It turns out the
flash gallery downloads and processes an XML file that tells it what to
put where in the viewer. So, I grabbed the XML, opened it up, and found
some of the image paths.

yip, using flash to access content via XML is how I build my slideshows



I should learn these packet poking skills
