In Rails 3.0.X, I would store my flash files in public/flash. Flash files such as: jwplayer, uploadify, etc.
With the introduction of the new directory structure in 3.1 (i.e. app/assets/), should flash files still be stored in public/flash or should I create a new directory called ‘flash’ in app/assets/ ?
if these are
.swffiles, I don’t think they belong inapp/assets. The asset folder allows for pre-“compiled” app asset files for CoffeeScript and SCSS (or similar js and css “compilers”). If you are compiling.asfiles into.swffiles as part of your deploy or startup process, I could see it making sense to put them in the asset folder. However, this seems like a horrible idea.=================UPDATE=====================
I was wrong. The asset folder is for serving Sprockets assets. As long as you can handle digested asset paths you should use Sprockets.
