Adobe Flash Player 9 and Safari Cache

Just want to let you all know that when the latest Flash Player is installed, the flash cache files are not accessible anymore from the tmp folder in the private folder of the mac HD volume. I had to re-install flash 8 to bring this back. Any clue what's going on here? Is this because the new flash player is re-locating its cache file to somewhere else?

thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin

I noticed this too - but haven't yet found where they are kept.

I notice that in the Flash 'settings manager' the amount of used storage shows as very low for each site - it doesn't reflect the sometimes large swfs that have been loaded. Also going back to a page seems to make the entire flash content be reloaded again - which wasn't the case before, as I recall.

Hi Andy, thanks for the info. I am wondering when we pull the flash links from the Activities menu viewer, whether this is downloading from cache or redownlaoding from the website. I suspect its a re-download instead accessing from cache. Bummer. I will stick to flash player 8. 🙂
