Foxnews has .SWF videos delivered with the HTTP protocol.
How to get them? Similar to .FLV files:
1. Download with Replay A/V
2. Copy from the cache of your browser
3. Find the URL with URL Finding Software and download with any download manager or even your browser.

I bet after learning about getting .FLV videos you won't have any problem with .SWF videos.

p.s. The .SWF URL should look similar to the following one
http://media2.foxnews.com/052506/052...ldblatt_56.swf
