Newgrounds (as far as I know) uses direct flash files, so .swf files. With a converter you could probably convert it on your own, but the file is only stored on newgrounds as a .swf.

To download that the hard way, you have to look at the source code to get the url to the file. To do that, right click on the page somewhere in an empty area and click "View Source" or "View Page Source". It'll pop up a new window with a bunch of html code (hint: do a search for something that is ".swf", and there's more than one, so look for a .swf file with the name of the video or whatever in it). Copy and paste it into the address bar. Open it again, it'll open as big as it can in your window, then go to File -> Save Page As... or something to that extent, whatever your browser says. Then you can save the .swf file to anywhere on your harddrive.

The easier way is with Firefox and AdBlock. Flash files displayed in firefox will have a small "Block" tab pop up on the top or bottom. Click that, and it'll just give you the url of the .swf file, which you can copy and paste just like in the previous method. Make sure you don't accidentally block it though, just cancel out of the window that pops up.
