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 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.
