I would not use the swf file to call the song if I wanted it to play
every time the flash file is called. Rather I would make the song an
audio part of a flv for a flv/swf. When you encode the flash, you can
select both a video file to encode for flash and a mp3 file to be
encoded as the audio part of the flv. If the video file already has
audio, you can select to replace it with another audio file. Don't
forget that the flv is the media part (audio/video) and and the swf is
only the player container for the flash, and it is of small byte size
compared to the flv.. You only link to the swf in the html code.
However, either on your computer on your server. both the flv file and
the container swf file should be in the same directory. When you
encode it usually is assumed that both files will be used in the same
directory. When you call for the swf container, it automatically looks
for the flv file in the same directory and downloads it to the
temporary cache of the browser. You can encode to start downloading
the flv at once or only when you use a start button on the swf player
container you encode.
