need help rewriting my .swf extension files

I need to 301 redirect my swf files to certain subdirectory.

[zabalex]

Hello,

I'm looking for help to redirect my swf file.
I try the following:

RewriteRule http://www.site.com/abc/old.swf http://www.site.com/flash_category/flash.html [L,R=301]

But for some reason it does not work.
If I have swf file, .htaccess is ignored, and swf file is loaded through the browser. If I try renaming the file into something else, I get error message on my site.

Please, help.

# When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitions.
# If you wish to match against the full URL-path in a per-directory (htaccess) RewriteRule, use the %{REQUEST_URI} variable in a RewriteCond.
