There shouldn't be any problems embedding remote flash files, it all works
just like with images.

The following code works flawless on my testing server (tested with a flash
banner I randomly found in the net)

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca
