so flash CS4 and cs5 come with a great library of free to use sound effects.
those are stored SOMEWHERE on your computer but flash is able to HIDE those.
how can a program hide files from me and how can I make them visible again?
--------------------
So inside flash you can load all those sound files into your project- you can even look where those files are stored:
now I went into the folder but there is no folder called "sound booth" in the "configuration" folder. the path flash says the file is stored doesn't exist (at least not in windows explorer)
I wanted to edit the sound file in audacity (right click inside flash- edit with) and then I get this:
does anybody have any idea what to do and how it's possible a program can hide files from me?

Failing that, check the FAQ and Adobe forums. Chances are you're not the only one stuck with this issue.
i don't think it is an issue. i think adobe is hiding the files from you on purpose so you won't fiddle around with them or STEAL them like they want you to use them ONLY inside flash no matter if you want to pitch them or edit them in any way.
i have played the remake of hero (you know that black and white indie game which is loosy based on some c64 game where you "fly" around and shoot aliens- 8 direction movement): the music of the game is somewhere inside the folder but it's hidden as well and you can't see it. once you START the game (it runs in fullscreen) and you switch back to it's folder you suddenly see all the music files lying around and if you close the game they are gone again.
so the game must extract the files from it's exe or something when you run it and i bet adobe flash does something KINDA like this just more professional so I cant just get the file when I run flash.
some 1337 h4x0r skillz are required for this I bet.
Good luck on that. I'm sure there's some Adobe hacking site out there that's discussing how to work around this.
And yeah, I'd imagine Adobe probably has some proprietary info flying around with all those audio files, so that's why they'd want it to be difficult to retrieve.
