Flash Media

Flash redirection offloads the processing of most Adobe Flash content including animations, videos, and applications to LAN- and WAN-connected hosted endpoints. By moving the processing of Flash to the user device, it reduces the server and network load resulting in greater scalability. Configuring Flash redirection requires both server-side and client-side configuration settings.

Early Flash redirection features are supported on the client-side only, while the latest Flash redirection is supported on both clients and servers. Flash redirection supports intelligent fallback to render content on the server when it is more efficient to do so. It also supports Flash URL Compatibility List, which controls whether URLs should be rendered on the client or server or should be blocked.

Tip

Flash redirection uses the Windows event log to log Flash events. You really need to check the event log to determine if Flash redirection is being used.
