Do you or don't you have Flash?

I don't think Y.T. supports direct .flv upload, or they didn't last time I tried it, earlier this year. When you upload video their system converts it to .flv, but you can't upload it. (?)

SWFObject rocks and is way better than the stock "publish" code, but if you publish directly from Flash it will create an html page for you. It's a bit bloated, use SWFobject.

The "legacy" method, distributed by Flash, is to use the object tag with a nested embed tag for Moz-ish support, but this is invalid code. View source of most pages on the web with Flash.

2) Is there a way to convert the SWF file to an MPEG file or whatever other format YouTube supports?

With the file open in Flash, select File->Export->Export Movie, select .avi or .mov (which is supported by Y.T.) Swish may or may not have the same capability.
