Cannot combine Flash in pagelayout.tpl and as a related object in an article in eZ 3.1

I'm using Flash as a menu inserted in my pagelayout.tpl and I use flash movies in articles inserted as related objects in text XML fields.

To display the flash menu in the pagelayout.tpl I need to ad the swf extension to the rewriterules. Doing that, flahfiles in articles, inserted as a related object, won't display anymore. The browser (explorer) stucks halfway.

Does anyone have the combination working? Is there a way around this?

I found two ways to go around this problem. Both have there disadvantage.

1. Put de flashmenu in a frame. Problem of course is scrolling etc.

2. Insert a fullview of a flashfile stored as content in the pagelayout.tpl like this:
{let children=fetch(content,node,hash(node_id,158))}
{node_view_gui view=full content_node=$children}{/let}
Problem is that using this solution there is a small white space below the flashfile. Don't know how to solve that yet.

Suggestions are very welcome.
