[Flashcoders] Loading Swf files in site (protecting bandwith from other sites)

[Dennis - I Sioux]

We are trying to protect our swf-files from loading by others (protecting our 
bandwidth).

Searching the net, no solution could be found for this. We want our users 
flashfiles to be loaded from our site,
but rejected when called from other sites to secure our bandwidth.

NOTE: The flashfiles are submitted content, so we can't change them.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this correctly?


-
On a more technical note (for those that wish to know what we tried) :

- We tried PHP to parse the files, using an swf header. This works in most 
cases, but appearantly some swf files do not work
correctly (it looks fine at first, but things go bad when using the swf). Even 
though the parsed file is both in Header
as in content equal (to the bit, checked that in filesize and in code) the code 
behaves differently than the
original swf.(for instance when a key is pressed a characters animation will 
play but won't be moved around).

- Now we'r trying to secure a webdirectory (with ModRewrite), to not load swf 
files when not refered to by our site, but  and 
tags do not pass on a referer in the header, thus blocking all requests or 
simple not blocking any.


Many Thanks

Dennis
