.htaccess problem

.htaccess makes flash not work

[Omtec]

Hello,

I have a flash object on my website, now I was trying to get more user friendly url's so I used .htaccess file to change the url for me

.htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule portfolio/ index.php?page=portfolio
RewriteRule about/ index.php?page=about
RewriteRule contact/ index.php?page=contact

the code works great, besides the fact that my flash object stopped loading correctly.

this flash object only runs on the index page, where no rewrite is needed, maby I can add an exception of some sorts ?

any advice would be greatly appriciated!

edit: FIXED

If you link to the flash object using relative URLs, the addition of the trailing slash on your new URLs means the browser is looking inside a folder for the flash object and not in the root.

For pages, you should not use a trailing slash. A trailing slash signifies a folder.

Additionally, link to the flash object using a leading slash, and specify the full path to the file.

Optionally for page URLs, redirect requests with trailing slash such that a new request is made without trailing slash.
