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?

Keith

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](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
