Forge Flash Support

SocketPool.swf

Some special networking features can optionally use a Flash component. Building the output SWF file requires the [Flex SDK][]. A pre-built component is included: swf/SocketPool.swf.

Building the output SWF requires the mxmlc tool from the [Flex SDK][]. If that tools is already installed then look in the package.json file for the commands to rebuild it. If you need the SDK installed, there is a npm module that installs it:

npm install

To build a regular component:

npm run build

Additional debug support can be built in with the following:

npm run build-debug

Policy Server

Flash support requires the use of a Policy Server.

Apache Flash Socket Policy Module

[mod_fsp](./mod_fsp) provides an [Apache][] module that can serve up a Flash Socket Policy. See mod_fsp/README for more details. This module makes it easy to modify an [Apache][] server to allow cross domain requests to be made to it.

Simple Python Policy Server

policyserver.py provides a very simple test policy server.

Simple Node.js Policy Server

policyserver.js provides a very simple test policy server. If a server is needed for production environments, please use another option such as perhaps [nodejs_socket_policy_server][].
