How can Apache be instructed to send a .swf file as if it were directly accessed?
To instruct Apache to send a .swf file as if it were directly accessed, you can use the `ForceType` directive in an Apache configuration file. This directive tells Apache to treat a specific file extension as a different MIME type. By setting the MIME type to `application/x-shockwave-flash`, Apache will serve the .swf file as if it were directly accessed.
<Files yourfile.swf>
ForceType application/x-shockwave-flash
</Files>
