How will people know the folder is there unless you publish links using the folder name?
Putting an index file in your folder blocks a directory listing.
Just make your index file say "Page not found" - much simpler than mucking around in .htaccess

UNTESTED, worth a try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /path-to-directory/\.swf
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

So does a single-line htaccess file:
Options -Indexes
... except that you don't need to, because that's already your default isn't it?
The form
Options All -Indexes
is likely to be a big, big mistake:
Warning
Mixing Options with a + or - with those without is not valid syntax, and is likely to cause unexpected results. |

When Apache docs put up a warning, pay attention. The "unexpected results" is a euphemism for "disastrously unwanted results" ;)

Sorry i'm confused - would i be better to have:
Options -Indexes
or
Options All -Indexes
In my htaccess file?

The first. The second is the "unexpected results" version. And the line should go in your top-level htaccess, because auto-indexing would normally be off by default. (You can turn it on in individual directories.)
Turning specific options off or on has no effect on other options. The default is "All", which means ... "All except MultiViews". (At least it does in Apache 2.2. It may be necessary to add this disclaimer to all statements about Apache everywhere ;))
| Any options preceded by a + are added to the options currently in force, and any options preceded by a - are removed from the options currently in force. |
