As far as I know,there are 2 options for adding flash into Joomla template:
1. Adding flash as a module
2. Hardcoding the flash into index.php
There are some issues to take care off when choosing one of these options:
If option 1 is choosen, we must be carefull with the editor that we are using in Joomla. Most of the editors, cleans some tags when adding the flash code, for example, <EMBED> tag. This is bad, because if we want flash to work in firefox, the embed tag must be present. I used Joomla FCK Editor and even this editor has an option to exclude some tags to clean, it always clean when we save the module. A BUG to resolve!!!
Using the flash as a module does not allow us too to create code to prevent the annoying thing “click to activate and use this control” (Please see post ” ‘Click to activate and use this control ‘ WorkAround”).
So, it leads me to the 2 nd option, hardcoding the flash in index.php.
Please see post ‘Click to activate and use this control ‘ WorkAround to see an example.
