limit access but use file

[furian]

hi there!
i've searched a lot and i found nothing about this, so i am writing to you now. here is the problem:

i work with flash, so i need to load an xml file, which should stay hidden -> no one can directly download/view it.

when i try to deny all or limit GET, i get loading xml failure.

i already saw that on apache docs
"SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.gif$" object_is_image=gif
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.jpg$" object_is_image=jpg
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.xbm$" object_is_image=xbm
:
SetEnvIf Referer www\.mydomain\.com intra_site_referral
:
SetEnvIf object_is_image xbm XBIT_PROCESSING=1
"
but it didn't help me anyway.

some ideas? this example on the documents is very close to what i need - if i access the .xml file (or any file) from flash (.swf) -> file is readable. if no -> it is not.

thanks alot!

Andrey
