Apparently you will have to work harder at not looking like a thief.

You are trying to put a flash object on one of your pages that is
being served from a different server. And your complain is that a
link in the SWF (which you have no control over or you would change it
so it works) is pointing to a relative location which you can not
figure out. And you want to find a way to change the link, or to not
have it go to any link. Well, if it smells like a rose, and looks like
a rose, and feels like a rose, then it is probably a rose...

You obviously do NOT have complete rights to use this or it would be
working. The author is [probably] using a relative URL in a getURL()
call. This means that you have to have that same directory structure
on your server. So either get them [the SWF suthor] to tell you the
structure, or make them change it to one that will work on your site.
If you have "complete rights" to this swf, then one of these options
will be open to you.

I don't know, why do people do things that are illegal?

I find it pretty stupid that you did not ask the SWF author about the
link. They have the answer for you, and since you have full right
rights to the SWF, I am sure they will be more than happy to help you
out.

I gave you your solution. Ask the SWF author to either change the URL
so it works, or tell you the relative plath so you can duplicate it on
your server. If you have full rights, as you claim, then the author
will supply you with one of those things.
