I keep my hands of Flash, but maybe some people could help you retrieve it,
so it can be altered?

Why not?
This should work, if the user allows redirects (and almost all users do):
<?php header('Location : http://www.example.com'; exit; ?>
Keep in mind you shouldn't have any output before the header statement.

It's possible in HTML, see
http://webdesign.about.com/od/metataglibraries/a/aa080300a.htm. It's Bad
Practice though...
If you can't do it in PHP for some reason, you could also do it in Apache
using mod_rewrite.
On a side note, the HTTP header 301 (permanently moved), was invented for
this kind of stuff.
