When using Flash, Image Map, a complicated Jscript code you should resort to XSLT outputting.
Please refer to Embedding Flash in Content article for a detailed description of the problem.
Below is a workaround which allows to insert Flash only in a certain item.
XSLT code replaces the $flash1$ variable with real flash code:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="main">
<h2><sc:text field="title"/></h2>
<xsl:variable name="textbefore" select="substring-before(sc:fld('text',.),'$flash1$')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="textafter" select="substring-after(sc:fld('text',.),'$flash1$')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="flash1">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[
<object data="/upload/forside_flash.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="330" id="forside_flash">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="/upload/forside_flash.swf" />
</object>
]]>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($textbefore,$flash1,$textafter)" disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:value-of><br/>
</xsl:template>
<h2><sc:text field="title"/></h2>
<xsl:variable name="textbefore" select="substring-before(sc:fld('text',.),'$flash1$')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="textafter" select="substring-after(sc:fld('text',.),'$flash1$')"></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="flash1">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[
<object data="/upload/forside_flash.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="330" id="forside_flash">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="/upload/forside_flash.swf" />
</object>
]]>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($textbefore,$flash1,$textafter)" disable-output-escaping="yes"></xsl:value-of><br/>
</xsl:template>
