Description

Some configuration of Flash Player is partly done by right-clicking on a player window in the web browser and choosing 'Settings'. Predominantly configuration is done through an actual web page at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.

Flash Player admin guide: "On Windows, this file is named NPSWF32.dll. For player versions 9.0.45.0 and later, this file is stored in the system directory, along with the ActiveX control. For example: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll. For player versions earlier than 9.0.45.0, the player plugin is stored in the plugins subdirectory of the browser installation directory. For example: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll. The Windows plug-in installer also places a broker application called NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe in the same directory as the Flash Player Plug-in DLL. NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe includes functionality required by Windows Vista and by the auto- update notification process."

For Flash 8 and onwards, machine-wide settings are made in a UTF-8 encoded mms.cfg that you create and place in %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash.

"Settings in mms.cfg override the user's settings and cannot be changed by the user through Settings Manager. Settings Manager, as viewed by the user, will not reflect configuration settings set by mms.cfg."

We use the following in mms.cfg:

There are more options that can be configured using mms.cfg, such as security settings that deal with data loading, privacy, and local file access. See 'security architecture document for Flash Player 8': http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_8_security.pdf
