Adobe’s Flash player is known to store cookies on your computer, independent of your web browser settings. So, if you have Firefox deleting all the cookies after your session, you may still have additional tracking cookies on your computer via Flash.
In some cases, these cookies can be good depending on the website. For instance, setting the volume of the Flash plugin for a particular website. Other cases, they could be used for targeted advertising.
If you previously installed Adobe Flash on your computer and it won’t re-install properly, you will need to install the “Uninstall” Program fore Adobe Flash. If the download manager somehow stops during the install process, I’ve found that uninstalling the Adobe Download Manager fixes the problem.
Here’s a useful resource I found for open source Flash projects.

Its a comprehensive list of Flash widgets and applications with open source source code. There are lots of useful code examples that you can use for web development.
Theres an easy way to add word wrap to a dynamic text in Flash. You will need to edit the Action Script in order to add this since its not an option in the GUI.
For instance, if your variable name was “title”, add in a line with:
title.wordWrap = true;
to enable the word wrap for that variable name. Its really handy for variable length fields.
