You'll have to dig into the ActionScript. Use "swfdump -a".
Also, maybe it helps to look at the requests the Flash file generates
by setting up a proxy (start a tcp port dumper on the local
machine that listens at e.g. 8080 and then add "127.0.0.1:8080" as
HTTP proxy to your browser). That'll at least give you an idea what
the URLs look like.
