Where does flash cache images too?

For example if I run this simple loader...
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8430/7735091072_5c9139c13e_b.jpg));"
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
private function imageLoaded(e:Event) {
trace("loaded");
.. It takes a few seconds to load the image from flickr... (Fair enough its a decent size)
If I run it again it appears almost instanty which would imply it has been cached somewhere on my machine.
Which is a good thing! I like this!
However as the app in question might download a large amount of graphics over time (its on a kiosk) I was thinking about writing somthing that would clear out the cache once a week or so.
But I dont no where flash keeps its cache? Ive done a search for the above image locally and it doesnt show up anywhere.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Aidan

These things are using the browser's cache. If you were using RSL's that would be going to a location managed by Flash.

Where does Flash Cache things...If it even does?

Ive created some software using flash that will load in content from the web, be it video or images.
The device is a public device and is on 24/7..
Im just curious if I should be worried about the devices harddrive becoming bloated with content that flash has loaded?
For video I use the netstream class.
and for images I use the Loader class.
Do any of these cache things to the hard drive and if so is it auto deleted afterwards?
Thanks

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper?

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper? i was playing around with windows theme and I can't find the wallpaper that was displayed before.

Firefox saves downloads to wherever you specify. Check your settings in Tools > Options > General, Download section. If you have it set to "Always ask me where to save files", then only you know where they were saved.

Where does Firefox cache videos? (I checked the Cache foler. Not there)

The FireFox' disk cache foler is set to ''D:\Cache'' (I set it so from about:config).
I cleared the disk cache, watched a YouTube video (almost 2 minute long), then looked into ''D:\Cache''. But the video I had watched was not there! (I found two .SWF files. But their sizes were smaller than 250K. And, stand-alone SWF players couldn't play them. Therefore, they can't be YouTube videos.)
So, where does Firefox cache videos?

Firefox doesn't cache videos on disk. The Flash player that plays the videos is in the cache, but the videos are streamed and not saved. They may be kept in the memory cache during the play.
You can check the cache on the about:cache page.

Where does flash install to?

I'm trying to get this script to work, but other than /Library/Internet Plug-ins, where does flash install?
This the line of code I'm trying to use:
/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Updates\ Player/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/Resources/Adobe\ Flash\ flashplayer.pkg -target / > /dev/null
and I get the following error:
Updating Flash player…
./flashupdate.sh: line 14: ${logfile}: ambiguous redirect
./flashupdate.sh: line 17: ${logfile}: ambiguous redirect
installer: invalid option /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin

I'm not really concerned about the logfile error. I can get rid of that by just removing the pointer to the log file.
Anyone with scripting knowledge have any idea what this means?

cscs_panthers,
the displayed error message is complaining about an option that isn’t present on the line of code in your post. Are you running /usr/sbin/installer somewhere else in your script? It seems as though it’s complaining about a different line of code.

How does Flex cache images??

To my understanding, in straight HTML the browser caches image files such that upon return visits (all other things being equal) the browser obtains the image from a browser cache rather than re-downloading.
Does/can flex make use of the same browser cache? More specifically, if my flex app downloads a large image file; then the visitor closes his/her browser before reopening it and navigating back to my flex app URL where does the same large image file come from, the imageServer again or from some sort of cache?
For that matter is the flex app itself cached by the browser such that (assuming no changes were made between visits) a return visit to my flex app url does NOT require the re-download of the app from the server (I know HTML has this capability but not sure about the HTML "wrapper page" which launches the flex app).
Thanks in advance,

Sorry for being newbie obtuse but are you saying that FP (Flex Project I assume)'s are an Active X (application) and thus IE does utilize its cache for all HTTP based communications???
If so then as I understand it, the typical Flex Project has an HTML wrapper which then loads the Flex App (I assume using HTTP). Subsequent Flex<--->Server communications can be HTTP or other format (AMF which I believe BenForta indicated was HTTP "wrapped" as well but at the moment I am less concerned with this).
As such is the following correct?
1.) IE Browser hits HTML page (url) ----> IE checks its cache; If exists compares vs current version on server; If different download from server else load from cache
2.) HTML page calls Flex App (using HTTP???) ----> IE again compares Flex App in cache (if exists) vs. server and if same load else download
3.) Flex App retrieves image file names via <mx:RemoteObject> ----- I don't see how browser cache can be used here as results not known until after dbase query completes
4.) Flex App uses <mx:RemoteObject> results to retrieve large .jpg files ---- do these "pass through" the browser (and therefore load and/or store in cache) or are they purely "Flex contained" (and if so does flex have any automatic cache or do I have to perhaps store the jpgs in a shared object if I hope to reuse them without a download)???

Where does flash stores the local shared object data

HI All,
I'm using shared object to store local data:
                var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(storageName);
                // Store the data
                so.data.userName = userName;
                so.flush();
Where does it actually saved on my hard disk (in windows vista operating system).
10x,
Lior

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Live Docs_Book_Parts&file=lsos_087_3.html
The term local refers to the location of the shared object.
In this case, Adobe Flash Player stores the SharedObject file locally
in the client's home directory.
When you create a shared object, Flash Player creates a new
directory for the application and domain. It also creates an empty
*.sol file that stores the SharedObject data. The default location of
this file is a subdirectory of the user's home directory. On Windows,
this directory is the following by default:
c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/web_domain/path_to_application/ApplicationName/objectName.sol
If you request an application named MyApp.mxml on the local host, in the Flex context, and within a subdirectory named /sos, Flash Player stores the *.sol file in the following location on Windows:
c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#localhost/flex/sos/MyApp.mxml.swf/objectName.sol

Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Where does Flash CS4 put installation info in registry?

Hi, everyone!
I want to know where Adobe Flash CS4 puts installation-related info into registry for Windows 7.
For example, Adobe Flash CS3 puts the following in the registry, for Windows XP:
Location in registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Flash\10.0]
Elements:
ApplicationPath => C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4
LanguageInstalled => en_US
Can anyone tell me where I can find this info?

After having played with this feature a bit more I believe Aperture uses the Facebook name of a contact. So this must EXACTYL match the name of your contact in address book.
If they are the same, Aperture will treat them as one.
If they are different, even when a name has an o or an ö. Aperture will treat the two contacts as different.
So far so good. It is a pain to change contacts and match them to facebook.
But what happens if someone changes their name on Facebook, to be funny, or maybe get married? Do I have to change the name again?
That would be very annoying!
I am wondering if anyone else has any thoughts or experiences with faces in Aperture and Facebook.

Where does Air cache loaded images?

MSIE caches all loaded files in Temporary Internet Files
folder.
Firefox - in something like C:\Documents and

These things are using the browser's cache. If you were using RSL's that would be going to a location managed by Flash.

Does flash save images to temporary files?

Hi guys
I am just wondering, if my flash application loads an image
dynamically at one stage of the movie and then the user comes back
to that image later on, will flash actually download the image
again or will it use a saved copy in the temporary internet files?
If it does not do this automatically, does anyone know any
good ways to do this?
Thanks
Shane

If the image is being loaded from an external source using
load or loadMovie
then yes, it will be cached. If the image is embedded in the
Flash movie,
no cache.
