How to convert a Windows app to work on a Linux system?

Hi there,

For the past while, my developer has been working with me on a small project to put together a live interactive whiteboard app, powered by Flash Media Interactive Server. Well, everything is finished & ready to go, but there seems to be a big problem:

The app was developed & tested on a windows machine, while my server and all my website files (to integrate with) is on a Linux system.

It's been a month since this problem arrose, and there had not been any further progress with this project for the time. My developer doesn't seem to know much about how the 'conversion process' works, if there is one.

Do you know if this is possible (to convert a windows-programmed app to work on a linux system)? If so, do you know roughly how it should be handled?

Thanks in advance,

Donny

    In the case of server side actionscript, there is no conversion required. Your .asc files are portable between Windows and Linux FMS installations.

    Your FMS application and the files served from your HTTP server are not directly related. If there is a webservice involved communication between your FMS application and your HTTP application, it may need to be changed, but that really has nothing to do with the FMS application

    if all the code is complied and contained within the .swf you should be able to load it without doing anything to it.
