Where does Adobe Flash player store the selected microphone/webcam
Hello experts,
I am trying for quite a while to detect where exactly does Adobe Flash player store the selected camera/microphone while broadcasting audio/video data to certain websites.
I have learned about the .SOL files in locations like:
-- location_1: %UserProfileDir%\AppData\R
-- location_2: %UserProfileDir%\AppData\R
But neither of them keep data about the camera/microphone that was selected.
I've also looked into registry, but no luck finding what I need.
Many thanks,
Sebi.

If it's website specific then this is probably what you are looking for:

Hello,
Indeed you are right. It seems Adobe cannot allow separate camera devices to be selected for different websites, not even for different browsers ... this seems really like a lack of professionalism in their software honestly.
For example I am a customer who wants to use 2 platforms simultaneously:
1. a platform where I use a virtual camera device to share my desktop
2. another platform where I want to use my webcam
It seems this is impossible to set-up by-code... too bad Adobe, too bad! It seems the "remember" checkbox actually only remembers the ALLOW/DENY options but not the camera used for that specific website.
Anyway... we can use in flash separate devices, the bad thing is that every time they need to be re-setup, otherwise always the last camera selected will be remembered for all FlashPlayer instances.

Thank you for explaining Sebi, may be there will be a special flash manager plug in and I bet you will need to pay for in the future? Giving yourself more control over these.
But for now we must comply . :(
