How to block embed flash access to the internet?

Is there any way to block an embed flash from accessing the internet? The idea is to block ads that appear "internally". I have it embed in the traditional way, as follows:

<object width="500" height="600">
    <param name="movie" value="file.swf"></param>
    <embed scr="file.swf" width="500" height="600" />
</object>

If you know the IP address or the host name where Flash is connecting to, you could modify your web servers hosts file (in linux at /etc/hosts) so that requests to certain IP address are routed to the servers localhost (127.0.0.1).

You mean from within the page that serves it, for all users that open the page? I don't think so, no.

You would have to have access to the Flash movie itself, and remove the external references - something that is probably forbidden by the Author's T&C if you're working with an external product.
