I once hacked together a simple 'Flash' object in a Python based Product.
It was just a class derived from the File object, which behaved very much
like the Image object. 

If called by DTML, it would return the appropriate HTML to include the
Flash animation in the page, whcih could be customized with a special
method very much like the '.image()' method on Image objects.

Alas, the class was written for a previous employer, and never released as
Open Source. But it was dead easy to create.
