Accessing a file inside an app in Search Head using URL

[keerthana_k]

I am trying to access a swf component present in a custom module created by me. While using just the file name inside the object tag in HTML, I was unable to load it. Will I be able to access the file by providing the URL? If so, what is the URL I should use? I have tried using the following URL and I got 404 error:

http://SearchHeadIP:8000/splunkApp/en-US/app/MyApp/appserver/modules/MyModule/test.swf

Generally, I would like to know how to access a file inside an app using URL in the browser.

We had to place the swf component inside the appserver/static folder of our app. Then we were able to access it as follows:

<object id='mySwf' classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' height='100%' width='100%'>
<param name='src' value='/static/app/MyApp/flex/test.swf'/>
</object>
