[support] Flash objects within a module

[sebastian]

I know how you set it up WITHOUT SWFtools / SWFObject2, but that might 
not be the answer you are looking for:

Views->theme field [op populate value from variables]:

<script type="text/javascript">swfobject.embedSWF("<?php print 
trim($output;) ?>", "replaceSWF", "720", "640", "10.0.0");
</script>
<div id="replaceSWF" class="swftools swfobject2">
</div>

this assumes you are loading swfobject.js, size would obviously need to 
be configured/altered; and the content of the div you want to show if 
the swf is not loaded [and before load is done]
