Thats one way, but do you really want to be hosting tons of .swf files on your servers. Ask yourself, do your members really need to post flash files?.

Like Kura said any files coming from a 3rd party source can expose leaks. This is why the word javascript is spaced so it breaks any attempt's to execute a script or some bad code.

Honestly I dont think it's wroth the tourble or resources to put in some kind of filter, if they need to post flash they can link to it, flash in threads is a bad idea if you have 56k'ers on site anyway. IMO
