    if you're using apache mood_rewrite is your friend, edit your .htaccess file and write a line like:

    RewriteRule ^name-of-game/?$ /games/20207.swf / [NC,L]

    for each one of your games urls and you're done

    yuo may ask your designer to use certain rules then he/she creates flash files.instead of numeric names, give them reasonable names.

    20207.swf ===> name-of-game.swf
