Tim, In your app.yal you wrote:
- url: /OFC.swf static_files: flash/OFC.swf upload: flash/OFC.swf replace this with the followoing if you want to serve OFC.swf from / - url: /OFC.swf static_files: /OFC.swf upload: /OFC.swf If you are planning to add other static files, and unless you have to put them in /, its better to declare static_dir and put this kind of files there. Adding static_files is ok for files like sitemap or robot.txt, but to avoid adding new lines for every new .swf added, it better to keep them under static dir.
