how to deny file access yet allow that file to be displaye..

I want to prevent someone stealing my flash files.

I added an .htaccess file to the directory which disallowed access to:
/directory/

but I could still access
/directory/files.gif

I can put it in a directory outside the web root but having trouble making
that work. The fiels are not displayed. Here's the directory structure I
used for that effort:

/d1
/d1/images/file.swf
/d1/www/site1(webroot)/d3/page.php

Page.php needs to display file.swf in the directory structure above.

Any other ideas? Thanks

if they can view it, that means they have downloaded to their local
machine (although in browser cache).. If they have downloaded the
flash/image file, they can get at it.. Nothing to go around that..
