Good question, I was wondering this question few day ago. after several "trial & error" of google'ing, I found two workable solutions. But sadly to say, only exclusive for Mozilla Firefox.
Sorry IE/Safari users...
The first one is pretty simple, for
Firefox for Newbies
a. Click Tools - Page Info
b. Click the Media Tab on the Page Info Windows
c. The media tab has a complete list (with preview) of Images, CSS Files and Shockwave Flash files that were downloaded by the Firefox browser while rendering (loading) the page.
d. Scroll down the list and locate the swf file.
e. Click the "Save As" button. Select some directory on your hard drive and save the file (No need for a third-party plug-in)
Firefox for Geeks and Power Users
a. Type about:blank in the Firefox address bar
b. Now click List cache entries or directly type about:cache?device=disk (Disk cache device)
c. Press Ctrl+F and try to location the flash file by typing some part of website URL or the flash file name or just .swf. After some hit and trial, you should be able to locate the swf file URL
d. Click the SWF URL to open the Cache Entry Information page. Right click on the link and choose "Save link as"
(From: Labnol.org. They do have IE solution, pls check.)
The second solution will be much more powerful.
Just download the Firefox add-ons: CacheViewer. It allows us to search for any temporary file (including banner, gif, jpg, or even the background) that we have just downloaded to our Mozilla Firefox Catche.
Once you found the thing that you want to download, simply select the file & use "Save as" command to save it to your designated place.
Simple and easy right? ;)

So, from now on, when you see cute flash games, animations or even just a plain stupid flash ads, you can grab them all in anytime, anywhere.
Cheers!
