I want to deny permission of visitors to access http://example.com/xml_folder/xml_file1.xml and any other .xml

I want to deny permission of visitors to access http://example.com/xml_folder/xml_file1.xml and any other .xml file in the xml_folder. I can do that easily modifying folder permisions.
The problem is that I also have a small flash on my website that needs to access those .xml files and once I remove “read” from “Public permissions” the flash can’t access the files either (which I think is pretty normal).

So .. my question is: how do I restrict visitors to access the .xml files but not the flash.swf file ?
Btw, it’s running on a linux vps.

    This is not possible. If Flash can retrieve the file then so can a user who watches with FireBug and captures the URL.
