I did a site a couple of years ago and now need to change where a flash file links(page is invalid) and due to unforeseen circumstances have lost the source to the flash file. I was wondering if there is a way to redirect when someone clicks on that flash link possibly using htaccess?

Any help is appreciated.

If it is you site, can you just change the link?

If this is wanting to redirect, such as you changed a file from abc.html to cde.html, then you can use a redirect using htaccess. I have recently read about this at http://www.buildwebsite4u.com/advanced/ … file.shtml and here is the code:

Redirect /OldDir/old.html http://site.com/NewDir/new.html

Be very careful using and/or changing the htaccess file. I recently made a change, and several hours, my son-in-law asked me why the site was down. I immediately deleted the htaccess and the site was back up. My change had killed the site.

Thanks for the response Bill. What happened is that I built a link into a flash file and lost the project file for it and no longer have the graphics to build a new one. The link goes to a different domain that no longer carries relavent content.

I tried using that .htaccess solution and It either isn't working with flash or doesn't work with a page on a different domain.

ie. Redirect http://olddomainlink http://currentdomain/page.html

I also tried Redirect http://olddomainlink/index.php http://currentdomain/page.html

Really don't want to, but think I might just try and replace the flash for the site with something else.

What about putting a meta tag at http://olddomainlink/index.php to redirect to the new location?

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://currentdomain/page.html">
