The directories with the flash videos are protected using htaccess

Well i could readfile them in through a script then ?.

The files are being externally loaded into the parent flash container,
sending that as the request to a load movie, so therefore is hidden to the
user unless they decompile the swf or use a sniffer. I guess just readfile
through php should work without a problem  ?
