No. src="mysite.com /movie.swf" will request the flash file with a regular HTTP request, the max information you'll (sometimes) be able to get is the HTTP-Referer, wich can tell you the site where the flash is refered from and maybe used into. There's no way to tell your apache in wich case or technic the requested file will be used.
On the other hand... Where's the problem? The requesting program (i.e. webbrowser) see the "embed", requests the flash file, and than embeds it. Just like inserting a simple image, or background-musicfile. Why telling apache for what reason it has to send the file? Side-Note: <embed> is nonsence, it is no official standard. You'll like to use <object> [1]. Maybe you can generate a (java-)script, that transmits a form with several vars such as **$use-ref-file-within = 'embed';** or something to your apache. Sorry, no better ideas, and I'll wonder if a jscript can do what you want. Regards, Peter.
