First Run folder This folder is a sibling to the application-level
configuration folder, but serves a different purpose. The First Run folder is
a simple mechanism, created specifically for the Flash authoring tool, that
facilitates the sharing of configuration files among users of the same
computer. Folders and files in the First Run folder are automatically copied
by Flash to the user-level configuration folder. Any new files placed in the
First Run folder are copied to the user-level configuration folder when you
start the application.
Typical paths to the First Run folder are as follows:
In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, browse to boot drive\Program
Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\language\First Run\.
On the Macintosh, browse to Macintosh HD/Applications/
Macromedia Flash 8/First Run/.
User-level configuration folder
in the user profile area. This folder is always writable by the current user.
Typical paths to this folder are as follows:
In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, browse to boot drive\Documents
and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\
Flash 8\language\Configuration.
On the Macintosh, browse to Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/
Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/language/Configuration/.
Flash Basic 8 for Windows uses the Local Settings folder for the user-
level configuration files. This use differs from Flash MX and the rest of the
Studio MX family (including Dreamweaver MX 2004), which all use the
Roaming Profile configuration folder for user-level configuration files.
Roaming profiles allow network users to automatically store their
configuration settings on a network server, and then move to different
workstations on the network and always have an application load the
same configuration files.The Local Settings folder differs from the
Roaming Profile folder in that when the network is set up, files in Local
Settings are not saved to a server to support roaming profiles.
This is the configuration folder found
