I don't know anything specific about Flash, so this is a repeat of an
answer to this question from someone else that got lost in the shuffle.
Background Issue - Things inside /WEB-INF are visible to your application
(i.e. you can do request dispatcher include and forward calls with them)
but not to your client.
Therefore - *IF* the Flash client tries to do a second HTTP request to get
the referenced file, it will fail. I suspect this is probably what
happens, but really don't have a clue.
The same thing will happen in a non-Flash scenario if your JSP page
"/WEB-INF/mypage.jsp" contains a relative reference to an image in the
same directory:
<img src="logo.gif">
The image retrieval (done by the browser as a separate HTTP request) will
fail, because the absolute URL will be something like:
http://www.mycompany.com/myapp/WEB-INF/logo.gif
and the container will disallow direct client access to the
context-relative path "/WEB-INF/logo.gif".
