1. of course, u should already have your myswf.swf ready in the theme folder
2. u also need swfobject.js. do a google earch. download it and put it in the theme folder.
3. assume your theme is named "xxxx"
4. modify your tpl.php as follows ..
// include swfobject.js
global $base_url;
$swfjs = $base_url . '/' . drupal_get_path('theme','xxxx') . '/swfobject.js';
$x = '<script type="text/javascript" src="'. $swfjs .'" ></script>';
print $x;
// set up the swf div
$swf_file = $base_url . '/' . drupal_get_path('theme','xxxx') . '/myswf.swf';
$x = '<div id="myswf"></div>'
. '<script type="text/javascript">'
. 'var s1 = new SWFObject("'.$swf_file.'","myswf","800","80","9");'
. 's1.addParam("allowScriptAccess","sameDomain");'
. 's1.addParam("wmode","transparent");'
. 's1.write("myswf");'
. "</script>";
.....
// print out swf div at right position
print $x;

This is how I use flash
This is how I use flash banners in my templates.
1) install swftools module
2) install swfobject2 module (part of swftools - requires that swfobject.js be downloaded and placed in 'shared/swfobject2' inside the swftools module folder )
3) go to swftools settings, and set rendering to be done by swfobject2
4) create a file called template.php in the theme folder
5) use this code inside template.php
<?php
function qqeigo_preprocess(&$vars, $hook)
{
switch($hook)
{
case 'page' :
$vars['flash_banner'] = swf
(
'path/to/flash/file.swf',
array
(
'params' => array
(
'width' => '228',
'height' => '618',
'wmode' => 'transparent',
),
'othervars' => array
(
'html_alt' => '<img src="' . base_path() . drupal_get_path('theme', 'theme_name') . '/images/no_flash.png" alt="Replacement image used when flash does not load for whatever reason" />',
),
)
);
break;
}
}?>
6) In page.tpl.php, you can then output the flash file using the variable $flash_banner:
<div id="flash_banner"><?php print $flash_banner; ?></div>Why this method is good:
1) It uses swfobject which is cross browser compatible, and produces valid markup
2) It keeps a separation between function (template.php) and design (page.tpl.php)
3) It follows drupal coding standards
4) It's clean, easy to read code
5) It doesn't take a lot of code to do it, making the code easier to read
6) It provides a replacement image for people who can't view flash for whatever reason
7) It provides replacement text for people who who also have images turned off (i.e. blind people using screen readers, or some people using cell phones)
This worked for me! I have

It's come to my attention
It's come to my attention that in my example code above, I used the name of my theme, meaning that the code won't work for others who are trying to use it. You need to change:
function qqeigo_preprocess(&$vars, $hook)to:
function phptemplate_preprocess(&$vars, $hook)or else:
function THEMENAME_preprocess(&$vars, $hook)where you replace 'THEMENAME' with the name of your theme.
