>- see footer for list info -< Hi, The general solution is to filter requests using a .htaccess file which checks the referrer URL to decide whether to serve the file or not. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to apply to SWFs [works fine for images etc.], hence the need for this solution.
You other solution is similar to what I'm implementing now, i.e. the content is in a password protected folder and members are oblivious to this activity..
