    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][].
