Is there any way to block an embed flash from accessing the internet? The idea is to block ads that appear “internally”. I have it embed in the traditional way, as follows:
<object width="500" height="600">
<param name="movie" value="file.swf"></param>
<embed scr="file.swf" width="500" height="600" />
</object>
If you know the IP address or the host name where Flash is connecting to, you could modify your web servers hosts file (in linux at /etc/hosts) so that requests to certain IP address are routed to the servers localhost (127.0.0.1).
