Well, an swf isn't HTML. Have you tried actually embedding the swf in HTML code and displaying the resulting HTML file?

Hey Dave, finally back on to this.

The reason for trying to use html rather than video is that it allowed us to run flash videos that couldn't be rehosted. These are blocked when using the video method, but not when using the html method.

Is there a reason this stopped working after version 4.0.4.0. I notice that 4.0.4.0 web availability has been withdrawn, which is what's brought this up as an issue again - before we just used 4.0.4.0.

Any thoughts?

You can use the <video> element to run SWF files. I would recommend caution, though: An increasing number of systems don't have Flash installed.
