Did you try creating a module? See http://dev.typolight.org/wiki/EnglishFlash for help.

Its very easy.
You just upload your swf file into your tl_files/ folder, e.g.
tl_files/swf/myflash.swf
You have to use the MODULES to create a module for flash first (as you cannot add it directly as a content element). Select the file above, width, height and save. You can also select [ x ] Interactive, and also set the Flash version. A good idea is to provide the alternative content (as an image or a warning, that you need flash).
Then you go to the article, insert the module above as a CE (content element). Remember to give it an CSS ID (at the bottom), so you can style it easily with CSS (the ID is ignored if you set it in the module).
You can also apply the module directly into your layouts, so is will appear in the header (if this is a repeating company header)
If you're looking to insert .flv movies, you have to use the multimedia extension as TL can only handle .swf files.
