Question

I have a small third party flash application I’d like to incorporate in my rails app, but I am struggling to get it working properly.

1. I believe it belongs in vendor opposed to lib, correct?

2. Let’s say I want the flash app to be loaded in my users controller in the signature action, how would I go about loading it in there. The app has multiple files, and lets say the final page to view is called xyz.html. How can I route/link my signature view to show xyz.html (located in vendor/plugins/sig/mouse/xyz.html) ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

A Flash application needs to be web-viewable to work, right?

Then it should go in the public folder.

Files in that folder will be served up by the web server, bypassing Rails. So the file at public/foobar.html can be found at http://localhost:3000/foobar.html
