You can just use File objects to store the flash content, and refer to the 
objects from HTML the same way you would from a static HTML site.

I wrote a special Python object for it, inheriting from File, just so it 
would take care of its own HTML tag, just like the Image object does. 
This because the site in question contained quite a lot of different Flash 
objects, and the widths and heights changed sometimes during the course of 
the design. The designers just had to upload their flash content into these  objects, which they very quickly got the hang of.

However, for the one Shockwave game in the site, I just had the Shickwave developer upload to a File object, and the HTML for it was handcoded into the reffering HTML page.
