Plone is going to resolve paths according to the skin search order.

I just tested this with uploading the dot-swf file into 
/portal_skins/custom/
(you could also embed with an absolute URL.)

Then I modified the /portal_skins/global_logo by pasting the embed code 
between these tags

<h1 id="portal-logo" metal:define-macro="portal_logo">
</h1>

You can add filesystem directories by adding LocalFS objects in 
portal_skins and then adding those as layers in the properties tab of 
portal_skins.

btw, you should direct your Plone questions on the Plone list.
