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

./flashupdate.sh: line 20: ${logfile}: ambiguous redirect
./flashupdate.sh: line 27: ${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.

  • Why does Flash install Google Toolbar?

    Why does Flash install Google Toolbar? Honestly, do you have ANY idea how annoying that behaviour is? I had no option at all to not download it, I could not stop downloading it. I was taking from a "you need to install flash" button on Facebook to the download.
    Honestly things like this make me rage, installing things automatically without an option.
    Until now, I used to think that it was annoying that Apple wouldn't allow flash on some of their devices. Now Adobe pulls **** like this, I'm not surprised. To hell with Flash I say.

    This is a user-to-user forum, and you're "preaching to the choir" here. IT ISN'T going to change, and NO ONE from Adobe management ever sees or reads these pages. Employees are here from time to time but no one who makes these decisions participates in these forums, per company policy. (I used to work for Intuit, and we were strictly prohibitied from posting in their forums. A team leader I worked with was fired for it).
    Links to the FULL installers are posted literally HUNDREDS of times each week throughout these pages by myself, and at least three others I know of, who volunteer in these pages daily.

    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    I DON'T run Adobe and no one here does, so I won't even beging to discuss business ethics.
    The solutions have been offered, and I recommend you update NOTHING, including your OS, automatically. I don't because I don't want junk like Ask Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Bing Toolbar, Bing Desktop, Norton or McAfee on any of my nine systems.

  • 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).

    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 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 LR3 install develop presets?

    I ask this question because, on my system, the answer is not obvious:
    I have 8 catalogs. Everyone of them is configured to store presets within the catalog. When I examine the contents of the presets folders (different for every catalog) I find that only 1 catalog out of the 8 contains any items in its Develop Presets folder (other than the folder 'User Presets') and these develop presets appear to be the default ones that are shipped and installed with the product. However, all 8 of the catalogs list these default develop presets under the group 'Lightroom Presets' in the left hand panel in Develop mode.
    The 'global' lightroom develop presets location, at ~user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\Lightroom Presets is empty. However the parent folder (Develop Presets) does contain folders for the 3 volumes of the free OnOne PerfectPresets as well as a User Presets folder (not empty). But, those OnOne presets are available only in 1 of the 8 catalogs, and not the same catalog as that referred to above.
    How do catalogs, which do not have the Lightroom default develop presets present, find them?
    Why can't catalogs find the free OnOne presets which are installed at the architected system (or global) location or any of the User Presets at this location?
    Finally, I do have a 'spare' Lightroom Settings folder which does not appear to be connected to any catalog: when I rename it to a garbage name I can find no immediate problem in any of my 8 catalogs. Is it safe to delete this spare Lightroom Settings folder?

    XEyedBear wrote:
    I have 8 catalogs. Everyone of them is configured to store presets within the catalog.
    This is where I think you are misunderstanding how the "Store presets with catalog" option works. For a start, you cannot configure an individual catalog to use this option.....it is a global Lightroom preference which applies to any and every catalog on that specific system. Once you have slected that option, the effect is that Lightroom will create a "Lightroom Settings" folder in the same folder as the catalog.....so if you have 8 catalogs, and they're all in their own individual folder, you'll eventually end up with 8 x "Lightroom Settings" folders. Keep all 8 catalogs (and preview sub-folders) in the one folder, and you'll get away with just one "Lightroom Settings" folder.
    A couple of other things to understand about this option:
    1. On initial creation, the "Lightroom Settings" folder contains only a subset of the main settings folders contained at the default user appdata location....and all the sub-folders are initially empty. Lightroom does NOT copy any presets (Lightroom's own or your User Presets) to the equivalent sub-folder in "Lightroom Settings".
    2. Furthermore, from the second that you select that option, Lightroom will no longer look at the default location for any User Presets that you had.....so the immediate effect is that the User Presets 'disappear' from the Develop Module (they haven't really been deleted, it's just that Lightroom no longer sees them).
    3. When you create a new User Preset after setting that option, it will be stored in the appropriate sub-folder within the "Lightroom Settings" which is specific to the catalog in use at the time, but would not be copied to any other "Lightroom Settings" folders. Easy in that circumstance to end up with each catalog having different user presets available to it, and easy to see maybe why the OnOne presets are only available to one catalog.
    4. And not all Lightroom settings are 'switched' to the "Lightroom Settings" folder, some remain in the default location.
    To be honest, unless you have a really good reason to store different presets with different catalogs, I think you're making a big mistake in selecting the 'Store Presets with catalog' option in your multiple catalog situation. I did a write-up on this subject not so long ago for the folks over at Victoria's Lightroom Forums, you might find it worth a read:

  • Where does Fireworks install?

    I've installed the CS3 premium design package, and can't find
    fireworks. Where is it, or how do I launch it?

    > I've installed the CS3 premium design package
    Terminology is crucial when discussing Adobe Suites. You have
    to be accurate
    Have you in fact installed CS3 Design Premium or CS3.3 Design
    Premium?
    CS3 Design Premium did not ship with Fireworks.
    CS3 Web Premium, CS3 Web Standard and CS3.3 Design Premium
    have Fireworks.

  • Why does Flash install completion close tabs when re-opening Safari?

    Here is a link to the last time this was brought to the attention of the Adobe team on 9/11/2014: Safari Browser Tab Cleared After Flash Installation
    Is this something that will be fixed soon or does Adobe just not care? It can be very time consuming to track down tabs that were left open for various reasons. Please fix this and have Safari re-open with tabs that were open before a Flash player update.

    It's something that we're aware of, but it's not trivial to solve.  It's definitely on our radar, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Where does Flash player cache streaming video on Chrome

  • 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

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

  • After downloading and install 10.8 from the Mac Store, where does the install app go? I would like to burn the 'InstallESD.dmg" package to DVD.

    Hi folks -- i downloaded ML 10.8 from the Mac Store yesterday, and before installing saw the install app in my Applications folder. Following a posting on Macworld.com, I would like to make a DVD backup of the installer, but after restarting from the installation process, the Installer app is gone from the Applications folder, and I cannot find it anywhere... In would like to make that DVD backup in case I have Internet issues and need to do an install.
    Do I need to download the installar again (and if I do, do I have to pay for it again), or is it hidden somewhere invisibly on my drive?--
    Thanks in advance ~

    It gets deleted as soon as you install.
    You need to quit the installer and extract from the app package before installing or download again.

  • 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

  • On Flash Gallery, where does the Description wind up?

    Lightroom 2.4.  Mac OS X 10.4.11
    I am using flash web templates which are based on, and similar to, the default flash gallery.  The Collection Description is "Web Photo Gallery created by Adobe Lightroom."  If I change that text, I see that my template name is no longer selected, indicatiing that this is in fact, a change. as I would suspect.
    But where the heck is that text in the web page?  I didn't see the default one, and I don't see my changed version.
    In my browser, I looked at the source, and I do not see that text as a meta description either.
    Where does it wind up?  What is the feature for, if it creates neither visible text or meta text?
    Dean

    On the top left corner of the gallery page you should see an item labelled View. Click on the label to expose a context menu. The last option on the context menu is About these Photos. Clicking on this option should expose the description.
