jasonc Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have a SWF flash slideshow which gets images from the same domain that the SWF file is also on. i.e. www.domain.com/flash.swf www.domain.com/images/img1,jpg www.domain.com/images/img2.jpg .. .. .. but it does not show these images due to the 'hotlink' feature in my cpanel, i turn it off and the images show. but i need this to prevent other sites from stealing my bandwidth with my videos i have also on my domain. i thought i'd add the following to the urls allowed, to allow the flash to access but this did not work. www.domain.com/images/ how else can i allow the SWF file to access the images but still have the feature active to prevent hotlinking.

corbin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 On what criteria is your hotlinking feature blocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonc Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 i block other sites from embeding my images or SWF or any file on my server within their sites. when the hotlink feature is enabled in cpanel, i get the error messages in the 'error logs' of cpanel that a file was not found at the time i viewed the SWF file.
