+Forge Flash Support
+===================
+
+SocketPool.swf
+--------------
+
+Some special networking features can optionally use a Flash component.
+Building the output SWF file requires the [Flex SDK][]. A pre-built component
+is included: `swf/SocketPool.swf`.
+
+Building the output SWF requires the `mxmlc` tool from the [Flex SDK][]. If
+that tools is already installed then look in the `package.json` file for the
+commands to rebuild it. If you need the SDK installed, there is a npm module that installs it:
+
+ npm install
+
+To build a regular component:
+
+ npm run build
+
+Additional debug support can be built in with the following:
+
+ npm run build-debug
+
+Policy Server
+-------------
+
+Flash support requires the use of a Policy Server.
+
+### Apache Flash Socket Policy Module
+
+[mod_fsp](./mod_fsp) provides an [Apache][] module that can serve up a Flash
+Socket Policy. See `mod_fsp/README` for more details. This module makes it easy
+to modify an [Apache][] server to allow cross domain requests to be made to it.
+
+### Simple Python Policy Server
+
+`policyserver.py` provides a very simple test policy server.
+
+### Simple Node.js Policy Server
+
+`policyserver.js` provides a very simple test policy server. If a server is
+needed for production environments, please use another option such as perhaps
+[nodejs_socket_policy_server][].
