Get .flv link of embedded video

[touyets]

Hi all,

is it in any way possible via VB/VB.net to get the link of the actual file behind an embedded video?

For example, I have a code that will find in th source code the embed video link such as: http://www.putlocker.com/embed/FD3BE44C696190C1 but I want also to get teh actual video's link automatuically. For the above mentionnned video, the actual file link is http://media-b503.putlocker.com/down...cron_7273b.flv

Of course, since this is flash and nothing comes up in the source code of the websites to give you the actual link of teh video, it is impossible for me to understand how to get this done. How do the firefox extensions such as VideoDownloader get these links?

Regards,

Simon
