I just ran into this as well. Generally, your mp3 files are probably in the same directory as your swf file. Unfortunately, if you don't specify an absolute url, Flash assumes the files are relative to the location of the page you're currently viewing, as in the html file. Of course, with Cake the location of media files is nothing like the locations of controllers.
So I also chose #2. When creating parameters for your html object/ embed code, you will want to include a "base" parameter which specifies the location of your media. So, if your "src" parameter pointing to your Flash file is something like: 'src', '/img/flashfiles/demo', Then you will want to specify the "base" parameter as: 'base','/img/flashfiles/', Hope this helps.
