Where component files are stored
Flash components are stored in the application-level Configuration folder.

NOTE
For information about these folders, see "Configuration folders installed
with Flash" in Using Flash.

Components are installed in the following locations:

    * Windows 2000 or Windows XP:
      C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\language\Configuration\Components

    * Mac OS X:
      Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Flash CS3:Configuration:Components

Within the Components folder, the User Interface (UI) components are in the
User Interface.fla file and the FLVPlayback (FLVPlaybackAS3.swc) and
FLVPlaybackCaptioning components are in the Video folder.

You can also store components in the following user-based locations:

    * Windows 2000 or Windows XP:
      C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Components
    * Mac OS X:
      Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe Flash
CS3:Configuration:Components
"

you could try this directory instead

/Users/[your_username_here]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
CS3/Configuration/Components
or
/Users/[your_username_here]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
CS3/en/Configuration/Components
or
/Users/[your_username_here]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash
CS3/fr/Configuration/Components
etc.

you can create a "Google" folder there but really it's optional

note:
we based the readme.txt
which indicate
"   - (Mac OS X) Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Flash
CS3/Configuration/Components"

on the wrong doc (for AS2)
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00002394.html
"
To install components on a Windows-based or a Macintosh computer:

   1. Quit Flash.
   2. Place the SWC or FLA file containing the component in the following
folder on your hard disk:
          * In Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\ Adobe Flash
CS3\language\Configuration\Components
          * On the Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Flash
CS3/Configuration/Components (Macintosh)
   3. Start Flash.
   4. Set your publish settings to publish for ActionScript 2.0.

      (Choose File > Publish Settings, Flash Tab and select ActionScript
2.0 from the ActionScript dropdown menu.)
   5. Select Window > Components to view the component in the Components
panel if it isn't already open.
