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
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 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

    I am trying to add the Youtube widget, but I get a black box saying blocked plugin. I have even tried to embed it from Youtube as well and it does the same thing. But when I drag the Vimeo widget over, it connects like it should. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this problem?

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

  • After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on uploading cache, it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on?

    After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on "uploading cache", it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it, but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on? Where are my photos now? How can I upload photos from my camera without iPhoto?
    Is there a better app?
    Thanks, Chris

    Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

  • Where does flash store Add-ins

    Boils down to:
          Where does Flash Store Add-ins?
    Why do I need to know this?
    I want to try something, theres a .deb for adobe connect addin, inside, a compiled binary, I want to try and see if I can throw that binary at flash as an addin and see if it'll work. I realize only Ubuntu is supported, but I've had this work with other things from Ubunto.
    OS: A variation on Thinstation, linux for short
    Flash Version: 10.1
    Browser: Firefox

    The data are in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\{yourname}\Data aplikací\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\
    where Data aplikací means something like application data or something like that in english.
    I'm not sure if you can change that location. Maybe by hacking in registries.

  • 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.

  • My airport express seems to be broken -- light is yellow and does not flash and doesn't change even when I press the "reset".  Tried unplugging and reset -- still a solid yellow.

    AX light is yellow and does not flash and doesn't change even when I press the "reset".  Tried unplugging and reset -- still a solid yellow. I assume this is a goner?

    Unfortunately, based on your description, I would have to second that your Express is a "goner." However, before giving up on the unit, be sure that you attempt a "factory default" reset at least 3x just to be sure.

  • 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 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

    ./flashupdate.sh: line 28: ${logfile}: ambiguous redirect
    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.

    Hey Apple Health,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! There's an article that helps to resolve issues with wireless keyboards. I'd take a look at it, go through the troubleshooting steps, and see if that resolves the issue for you:

  • My Iphone 5 does this weird thing where it just freezes, some random vertical lines show up, and shuts off. Does anyone know what the cause of this is?

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Do a reset press& hold power button&a menu button hold both down wait for Apple Logo you will not lose any data
    that should solve the problem.

  • My Mac was hung up, friendly support person helped me empty cache, said to do it once a month. How did I do it? And what other regular maintenance things ought I be doing?

    My Mac was hung up, friendly Apple Support person helped me empty the cache, said I should do it once a month. Forgot how I got there to do it. And what other regular mainentance ought I be doing?

    See Thomas Reed's Mac Performance Guide, item 7.
    You don't need to clean your caches once a month. Doing so will only slow down your computer. OS X takes care of that kind of maintaince.
