ruby on rails 3.1 move .swf to asset pipeline?

Question

Is it possible to move SWF files to the asset pipeline, and if possible how can this be done?

Answer 1

I would recommend putting them in a folder called app/assets/flash.

Add this folder to your asset paths:

config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('app', 'assets', 'flash')

They can be referenced like this in your views:

asset_path('name_of_swf')

The asset_path helper will ensure the correct file is referenced in development and production modes.
