You can not use swf files as banners (in the banner management) you have to make a custom block.
I too think it is a very important feature (lack of) and asked for this feature in another post- no one replies. Looks like just you and I want it.

you can just copy html code into a custom block- but like i said, you can't make it appear in banner groups.

there is no next step.
Maybe ask Viart to allow swf file rotation in banner groups.

rshaady have you added the swf files into your root folder?

The best solution is to install Openx and not using the viarts banner management. Then you can create a custom block and paste the code taken from openx. It is open source software so you never have to pay any money. Go and get it from the following link: http://www.openx.org

Hi,
I know this is way old but I am adding this just in case anyone searches for a solution.
It has been said above that banners cannot contain Flash! I have several banners with Flash and they all work fine, nothing to difficult either and I have them all in the default SWF folder.
Below is the code example of just one of the flash banners.
Just to add a little here. If you put a flash block below the horizontal menu the sub menu items can be obscured by the flash. Trying "z-index" settings in the css file is ineffective.
I found eventually that adding WMODE parameters solved this.
Add in "<param name="wmode" value="transparent">" and in the "<embed src= " section add the value wmode="transparent" .
