I enjoy messing around with computer graphics to some degree and like
many of the sites for their cool animations and stuff like that.

The problem is, often when you use one of their generators etc... to
make a graphic, they don't give you an option for saving it as a
FILE. They instead will provide you with a CODE to be used with
MySpace... etc.

What is the reason for this? Can't people upload an actual file to
their website or MySpace profile instead of all these codes?

Do you really need CODES to put graphics on web pages? Why not just
put the actual file itself there where you can have more control over
it or even send it in an email as an attachment if you so choose?

Thanks in advance

I think you mean embedding. Uploading a file to such as MySpace
would consume space - capacity is at a premium, but "embedding
a link" takes no discernable web space, apart from the site that has
the original.
The type of animation/clips etc that you are talking about can be
"grabbed" from their original sites such as YouTube, but they make
it a tricky and non too easy process simply because they want you
to visit their sites and see the advertisng.

If there is a clip that you specifically want to be able to download,
supply details and you will get all the info you need to "grab" and
download such clips.
