Apache – Redirect URL's from subfolder to root directory

All the files and subfolders that used to make up our old Flash website do not exist anymore and so the URL paths to all the pages are broken.

We could use help writing a Redirect for specific URL’s as well as catch all rewrite rule for subfolders to redirect to the base domain / URL.

ex.) Specific URLs

example.com/home.html
example.com/info.html

Any file path or image/asset or page url within these subfolders redirect to root domain 

example.com/flash/devices.html
example.com/flash/images/diagram.png

example.com/external/m2000.zip

New site is built with the latest version of WordPress / Apache / PHP

EDIT

Current .htaccess code

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/home.html|/info.html|/flash|/external)
RewriteRule (.*) http://qcmresearch.com [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
