hehe - yeah, first there are both cObj(ects), second i enabled also the 
CE's using them. They can be used, but also can be hidden.

yes, not possible in one field (without advances user-function)
At the moment there is the normal file-field, and in Flexform the 
flashvars etc, where you can define the URL (i have to make it work 
without file and "file: xyz" in flashvars, atm i return empty if file is 
missing)
Also remark: swfobject always stream the data, also with direct file.
