its not easy to call flash across domains so it should not really be a problem (as far as I know)

You can add a few lines to the .htaccess file on your server to keep all other sites or specific sites to linking to specific file types. Meaning that you can prevent other sites from using your bandwidth. Google "Hotlink Protection" and a bunch of sites should come up with explanations of how to do that.
