Flash attachment

All,

I want to add a flash mp3 player to all pages but the flash player has
to be
in the same folder as the page to play - this means that each page (eg.
/info/) cannot access the flash. As the site is not static I cannot
simply
upload the flash to each directory. Any ideas how I can get this to work
people?

You can use Apache’s mod_rewrite to match a particular pattern in the
URL and either proxy the request to the proper URL or redirect.

RewriteRule myflashfile.swf$ http://localhost:3000/myflashfile.swf [P]

will load the Flash file for each request that ends with
myflashfile.swf.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Oliver
