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?

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".

  • It opens up the docs in a browser, instead of the Help panel, which is okay. Thanks! – Robin Rodricks Jun 28 '09 at 13:55
  • Yeah, the old help panel was just an ad-hoc web browser anyway, so you're really better off with the same files shown in a proper browser (so you can search with "/" and F3, etc). – fenomas Jun 29 '09 at 07:08

"Flash CS4 contains the entire standard set of documentation...

OSX: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/"

No it doesn't...

I have absolutely nothing there whatsoever.
