If a File plug-in is enabled for retrieval of SWF files, the server calls the File plug-in. The server passes any values
present in Application.xml or Server.xml to the plug-in. The plug-in developer overrides these values with paths to
the external content repository.
Configure SWF verification for applications

Locate the following section of the Application.xml file:
<Application>
...
<SWFVerification enabled="false">
<SWFFolder></SWFFolder>
<MinGoodVersion></MinGoodVersion>
<DirLevelSWFScan>1</DirLevelSWFScan>
<MaxInitDelay>5</MaxInitDelay>
<FirstHashTimeout>5</FirstHashTimeout>
<FinalHashTimeout>60</FinalHashTimeout>
<UserAgentExceptions>
<Exception to="" from=""/>
</UserAgentExceptions>
<Cache>
<TTL></TTL>
<UpdateInterval></UpdateInterval>
</Cache>
</SWFVerification>

Edit the following elements.
Element
Attribute
Description
SWFVerification
enabled
Set the
enabled
attribute to
"true"
or
"false"
to turn this feature on or
off. The default value is
"false"
.
SWFFolder
None.
A single folder or a semicolon-delimited list of folders that contain copies
of client SWF files. These SWF files are used to verify connecting SWF files.
They are the
verifying
SWF files.
The default value is the application's folder appended with /SWFs. For
example, for an application called myApplication, if there isn’t a value set
for this element, verifying SWF files should be placed in the
applications/myApplication/SWFs folder.
If you are using the File plug-in to verify SWF files in an external content
repository, leave this field blank.
If you installed Apache with Flash Media Server, enter the path to the folder
from which you are serving SWF files. For example, if you’re serving SWF
files from the webroot directory on Windows, enter the path C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\webroot.
Important:
All SWF files in the specified folder are hashed and cached in
memory when the server starts and every time the cache TTL expires. A
large number of SWF files can result in start-up time delays and high
memory usage.
MinGoodVersion
None.
Specifies the minimum version of this feature to accept. The default value
is
0,
which allows this and all future versions. This is a reserved field that
works with Flash Player; Adobe recommends keeping the default value.
