The way I understand what you have said, the index or default site
page is being physically replaced by some other page containing hacked
content - is that right, or is it that redirect being put in place ?

What kind of flash page(s) do you have there ?
- are they just movies or do they have a form with bunch of
actionscript talking to some web services on your site ?
- do they have forms submittal functionality ?  File upload perhaps ?

Do they have AS code in them that might require elevated privilege
perhaps, but makes use of an upload capability.

You do know that just about anyone can dissect your SWF files and look
directing at the AS code ?  (There are many and various SWF reverse
engineering tools out there).

The various flash pages you mention - do they have anything in
common ?

Like the man said - have you looked at the web server logs ?

What web server is it anyway - iiS ? Apache ?  - is it a windows
server or a linux server ?

Have you looked at the web server configuration(s) - have you
accidentally opened up directory scanning or some other permission
that is allowing your hacker to get into your site ?

Does the flash application have a backend web service ?  If so what
does it consist of (CF ?).
What kind of things is that backend WS programmed to do ?
Does it expose a public method that can write back files to the server
perhaps  ?

Does the backend WS insist upon security validation for every request
made to it or is it using session vars on the server to hold security
validation state ?  OR Does the flash file store some security
validation token that might be hackable perhaps ?  Or in other words
are you trusting the flash modules delivered by your site perhaps a
little too much ?

Cheers,
Bryn
