redirect a folder

[gennsearch]

I have a site that I need to move a folder,

domain.com/folder/page.php
to new
domain.com/page.php


this is what I used but redirect the entire folder and not the contents in it.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*) http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

if you redirect the entire folder...everything contained is redirected...ever url that uses the folder will be redirected.
