Hi Jon;
The instrcutions should work if you are using Internet Explorer on a
MAC. Although I must admit I have never tried it. If it doesn't work,
try the link below and read through the postings on the website.
Hopefully, your answer lurks in the fray.

Saving flash files off the internet can be difficult. Below are
instructions that you may be able to follow, depending on how
internet-savvy you are.
NOTE: Flash files may be copyrighted and the animation's usage may
not be allowed by the site owners from which you got the file, depending
on how you plan to use them. Do not go about publishing or embedding
these files on your websites! Link to them instead! And ALWAYS
aknowledge the animators.
The Biovisions animation is open source. Therefore, its use SHOULD
be allowed in the classroom. However, my advice is to always send an
email to the people that made the animation, and get their permission
first. That way, you have not made anyone mad (it may be legal, but
they might still get mad!!!!). Remember.....you are NEVER anonymous on
the web...they will know that you have downloaded their animation (if
they care enough to check).

How to Save Flash (taken with permission from
http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/06/save-shockwave-flash-animation-on-web-sites/)
1. Finding the flash file
Open the Internet explorer
Go to Tools > Internet Options
Look for “Temporary internet Files” - click on Settings
Then in the Pop Window, look for “Temporary Internet Files
Folder”
2. Click “View Files”
This will open the “Temporary Internet Files Folder”
You can sort files by Type by clicking on it. Or by date to see the
latest files of you have a large cache. Under the type, you will see
several files labelled as “Shockwave Flash Object”. You can right
click on file you want, then “Copy”
3. Unable to locate the file?
If you have a large number of files and are unable to locate the
flash file you want, sort by date such that the latest date is on top.
If there are still huge number of files, empty the temporary internet
folder (Internet Explorer> Tools> Internet Options> Temporary Internet
Files Folder> Delete Files>Delete all Offline content).
Now that your folder is clean, revisit the site and the flash file
will be recached into this folder. If your file is lost amongst multiple
flash files, then you can click these flash files, but that is best
avoided. If you do click, an alert box will pop up. Click on Yes and the
flash file will open in your default web browser.
4. Unable to locate the temporary internet folder?
In Win98-ME - “c:\windows”Win2000-XP
In Win XP-2000 - “c:\documents and settings\user_name\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files”
You can also search for *.swf files from same or higher levels
depending on your computer.
5. See the source*
You can also find the source url of the flash movie easily. Right
click the flash file in the temporary internet folder, select properties
and it will reveal the full url. Similarly, once you click the file and
ok the alert box above, the flash file url will appear in the location
box.
6. Saving the flash file.
Now that you have the .swf shockwave file copied, you need a place to
save it. Lets save it on the desktop, the easiest location to find on
the computer. Right click on the desktop, and select “Paste”. The
.swf flash file will be saved on the computer.
7. How to see if this file works?
Right click on the file and click > Open with > Internet explorer
and your flash file runs.
