SWF Files in .htaccess

[eluser]Dr. Seuss[/eluser]
Okay, I've made this change to the .htaccess file:

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|flash)

Such that the file now reads:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## MIME TYPES ###
AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
#previously this would not have been possible.
#'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^app.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file
#Submitted by Michael Radlmaier (mradlmaier)
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css|flash)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Interestingly, if you go directly to the swf file:

http://radsrc.fastcheapweb.com/flash/randomizer.swf

...you will see that it "works"; that is, it loads the other swf files and plays them.

So a further test that I made was to replace the relative references in the view from "flash/randomizer.swf" to to full path explicit reference that works above, "http://radsrc.fastcheapweb.com/flash/randomizer.swf". This does _not_ play. Why would it work when it is on the page by itself but not work when it is embedded? Makes no sense.
