[web2py] Re: Enforcing access control on Flash file embedded inside a view

I guess I need more help. Please bear with me. I assume that you are suggesting the following approach: If I have a SWF at /APP/static/file.swf, then I should create following entry in routes_in in routes.py (r'.*/APP/static/file.swf', r'/APP/controller/file') And in controller.py
