About the installed files

During installation, client-side application files and server-side application files are installed.
You should understand the difference between these files:
Client-side application files are SWF and HTML files. When you begin developing
applications, you can store the client-side files for your applications anywhere.
Server-side application files include script files (ASC files), stream files (such as FLV files),
and shared object files (FSO files) and must always remain on the server computer.
When you begin developing applications, you must create a registered application
directory for your application in the applications directory with the name of the
application and keep the application's server-side files there. For example, for your
application called my_app, you could create a my_app subdirectory in the applications
directory and put the server-side files for my_app in that subdirectory (.../applications/
myapp). You can change your applications directory through the FMS.ini configuration
file.
