Adobe Flash CS4 contains no documentation at all; it simply redirects to the online docs. Since I own the older Flash CS3 I was wondering if I could use the older HTML files with the newer IDE, by changing some XML file within the Flash CS4 directory on my C: drive?

A:
Flash CS4 contains the entire standard set of documentation. It just defaults to using the online docs whenever you have a network connection available. Offline docs are stored at:
- WIN: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\Flash
- OSX: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Help/en_US/
Incidentally, to get the IDE to open the offline docs automatically, open: Window > Extensions > Connections from the top menu. In the panel that appears, select the menu (the upper right corner of the panel) and choose "Offline options", and check "Keep me offline".

It opens up the docs in a browser, instead of the Help panel, which is okay. Thanks!

Yeah, the old help panel was just an ad-hoc web browser anyway, so you're really better off with the same files shown in a proper browser (so you can search with "/" and F3, etc).
