Log file location

Beginning with the Flash Player 9 Update, you cannot modify the log file location or name. The filename is flashlog.txt, and its location is hard-coded, depending on your operating system. The following table shows the flashlog.txt file location:

Operating System

Log file location

Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs

Windows Vista/Windows 7

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs 

Macintosh OS X

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/Logs/

Linux

/home/username/.macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/

The default log file location changed between the initial Flash Player 9 release and the Flash Player 9 Update. In the initial Flash Player 9 release, the default location was the same directory as the mm.cfg file and you could update the log file location and name through the TraceOutputFileName property.
