/application directory is located, the location is specified in the
Vhost.xml file, which is located at /Flash Media Server /conf/defaultRoot/
defaultVhost. For information about configuring a different application directory, see
Managing Flash Media Server. Although your SWF and HTML files should be
published under a web server directory, your server-side ASC files, your audio/video
FLV files, and your ActionScript FLA source files should not be accessible to a user
browsing your website.
2.
Your server-side script file must be named main.asc, main.js, registered_app_name.asc, or
registered_app_name.js.
3.
Create a subdirectory in the /applications directory called appName, where appName is a
name you choose as the filename of your Flash Media Server application. You must pass
this name as a parameter to the
ActionScript.
