How do I stop deleting flash cache storage

Not an urgent matter, but I've looked around the internet and found nothing of a solution on the matter. Where's the flash cache on a Mac and how do I prevent it from being deleted?
I downloaded the game VVVVVV from Steam for Mac, and I've read that as a flash-game it stores its save data in the flash cache, which is prone to being deleted quite frequently to "enhance security" and what not. I don't know if there's a third party application like Adobe that deletes it or if it's a System Preference, but this purging of my flash data has got to go.
Update: When visiting this website http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_man ager03.html it seems I can change the settings of Flash Player, would changing the amount of disk space (under global storage settings) allow VVVVVV to save files to my computer??

Have you tried reporting this issue to the developer of VVVVVV? I believe TerryCavanagh is the developer for VVVVVV. If you go to his website, and lick on the "Email" tab, you should be able to contact him about this issue.
Flash cookies are stored in "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player". you should be able to get there by:
go to dock
click on finder
go to the menu bar
click on the go menu
chose "go to folder"
put in the address "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player"
click the go button
if you copy this folder; you should back up all the flash cookies. witch... hopefully will let you keep you flash game saves.
flash has a cache is in:
~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player
If your running the latest version of flash player, it has a control panel. Witch can be found in System Preferences, Flash. the control panel should give you some control over how frequently flash cookies get deleted.

    Ignore him!  Syncing will not solve this.
    if this just started, it may also resolve on its own.   A reboot may resolve it quicker.
    When you delete, are you confirming the delete by taping "done" Or "delete"?

  • How do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping even though i added stop code?

    how do i stop my flash animation from constantly looping? I can't seem to find the answer. I put the stop(); code on it's own layer and at the end of the timeline. it still doesn't work when i test it or publish. I'm new to Flash.

    if you're publishing for html5, use:
    this.stop();
    to stop the timeline that contains the code.  if you want to stop other timelines, you must reference them.  eg,
    mc1.stop();
    mc2.stop();
    mc2.mc3.stop();

  • How do you stop the flash player when you change pages on a web site

    Hi all;
    I'm building a website in flash using my limited understanding of action script.  Everything was progressing very well until I found that if I go to one of my example pages of my web site and play the flash video (with audio) and click back to my "home" button, the audio will continue to play.  If I go back to the example page, the video is off and when I start the video, it plays again with the other audio.  I hear the audio twice! I know there is an action script to handle this but, I can't figure it out.
    My question is, How do I stop the audio when I click away from the example page back to the home page or any other page?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    I'm usinf Flash CS4 and a Mac OS operating system.

    The problem is most likely in your Action Script. Therefore this question should be posted in the Action Script forum. This forum only deals with the Flash Player, which, in this case is running the script as it is written, and therefore, working properly.

  • When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

    When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown  menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

    the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address.  My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id.  But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

  • Ical synch: how can i stop deleting ical items and synch the rest?

    When synching on itunes, it asks to delete 9000+ items from ical, add and modify are 50 or so each, and I'm very confused why this is happening.
    How can i stop this and synch the rest? I do not want to delete anything but it doesn't seem to have option other than synch later.
    I have icloud calendars synch on as well...
    Thanks!!

    Bruno,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are you using any sync software?
    The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.

  • How do I stop "delete cookies" from deleting saved games of a flash based game?

    I'm running Firefox 4 under Windows 7.
    I have it currently set to delete my history when I end the session, including cookies and temporary files. This is due to privacy concerns.
    However, I also have a (downloaded - not run online or via a browser) flash based game on my computer - which saves games as LSOs.
    Firefox therefore deletes my saved games when I exit.
    How can I address my privacy concerns and still play this game?

    I am having a problem where my flash game saves are deleting themselves on their own. I don't even have to clear browsing history, and I do not have any cleaning software installed. I have set storage to unlimited and that worked for a few days but I loaded a game this evening and my save file was gone and the storage had been reset to 100kB. I haven't touched anything, haven't deleted anything. It's infuriating.

  • How do I stop  "delete once and it deletes everywhere" ?

    I have just discovered that all emails deleted on my Iphone are deleted on my Mac Pro.
    This is a pain - I received an email, seen first on my Iphone.  The large attachments were beyond what I could look at - so I left it until I was on the Mac Pro.
    Saw them on the mac pro.  To keep the iphone tidy, deleted the email on that.
    All gone from the Mac Pro.
    How do I keep the emails on the mac pro without filling the iphone up with junk I don't need to carry on it?
    Help welcomed.
    Many thanks

    To keep the iphone tidy, deleted the email on that.
    You don't need to do that. The iPhone doesn't actually store all your email - it is stored on the server. The phone just caches (makes a temporary copy of) the most recent ones on the handset for quick access and for when you don't have an internet connection.
    When you delete a message on the iPhone, you are actually deleting it from the server. That is the way modern IMAP email accounts are designed to work for access from multiple devices.

  • How do I stop the flashing page that will not allow me to get to email

    you said you were going to email me - that IS THE PROBLEM!!!
    I can't get to my email - it keeps flashing.

    Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    * Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How long after a delete does a storage sccount name become available?

    I have a personal subscription that I used to develop some stuff. It's grown to the point where I can now make my service publicly available.  I want to "move" all the stuff to a new Azure account/subscription owned by the new company that
    I have formed to sell my service.
    I know I can't rename or move a storage account between subscriptions, but if I delete it in my personal subscription, how long should it take before that name is available for use in my new subscription?
    Thanks.

    Actually you can move storage accounts from one subscription to another provided you're the owner on both subscriptions and both subscriptions have the same country in billing address. Just open up a support request and let them take care of it for you.
    Regarding the time, you can't really predict. It all depends on the amount of data that needs to be deleted. For example, if you delete a table from a storage account it actually takes at least 40 seconds to delete that table (Ref: 
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dd179387.aspx --> See Remarks section). Furthermore, I believe that if you delete a subscription they keep it there for 15 days so that
    you can take a backup of your data.
    My recommendation would be to reach out to support directly on this.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I stop deleted email messages from being removed?

    I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 and an iPhone 5.  I get my email from hotmail using IMAP protocol.  When I delete an email, I want it to stay in the "deleted" folder forever or until I decided to manually remove it.  However, for some reason they only stay in the deleted folder for a week.
    My mailbox behavior preference is set to NEVER permanently erase deleted messages.  Why do the deleted message only stay for a week and how can I change this to keep them permanently?

    Actually this helped on the phone but the emails on my iMac are still only staying around for one week.  In prferences, it is checked to NEVER removed deleted messages from trash.  What else can be wrong???
