Documentation for Adobe Flash CS4?


Adobe Flash CS4 contains no documentation at all; it simply redirects to the online docs. Since I own the older Flash CS3 I was wondering if I could use the older HTML files with the newer IDE, by changing some XML file within the Flash CS4 directory on my C: drive?


Solution

  • Flash CS4 contains the entire standard set of documentation. It just defaults to using the online docs whenever you have a network connection available. Offline docs are stored at:

    • WIN: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\Flash
    • OSX: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/

    Incidentally, to get the IDE to open the offline docs automatically, open: Window > Extensions > Connections from the top menu. In the panel that appears, select the menu (the upper right corner of the panel) and choose "Offline options", and check "Keep me offline".
