in your root directory of your movie. Unless youre using AS to create an empty movie clip, then I would assume it is stored in the same .swf.

You need to load into another movie clip or \_level.

eg

```auto
 
loadMovie("circle.swf", mySquare);

```

Where mySquare is an empty movie clip on the stage.

Sorry, I was thinking more on the lines of a temp cache folder on the hdd.
