Get the package movie15.sty, patched for dvipdfmx/XeLaTeX by Jin-Hwan
Cho, from here:

http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote/patches/movie15_dvipdfmx.sty

Then embed the SWF as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{movie15_dvipdfmx}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{hyperref}

\begin{document}
  \includemovie[text={Click here!}]{0.8\linewidth}{0.6\linewidth}{file.swf}
\end{document}

You may need to adjust the width and height arguments of \includemovie
to match the original aspect ratio of the swf file.

The produced PDF works in the Windows and Mac versions of Adobe Reader,
starting from version 6. The current Reader 9 comes with a builtin
player, enabling SWF playback also on other platforms, including
Linux-x86. However, the embedding method is different and requires a
new LaTeX package yet to be written.
