Configuration folders installed with Flash
Flash places several configuration folders on your system when you install the application. The
configuration folders organize files associated with the application into appropriate levels of user
access. The configuration folders for Flash are as follows:
Application-level configuration folder
This is the configuration folder found near the
application itself. Because it is in the application level, non-administrative users do not have write
access to this directory. Typical paths to this folder are as follows:
•
Windows: \Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\ language \Configuration\
•
Macintosh: HD/Applications/Macromedia Flash MX 2004/Configuration/
