Hi,

That FAQ was only for hosted wikis (on the xwiki.com farm), and is 
really deprecated, meaning that right now it does not work.

I found the template that used to be at xwiki:XWiki.flash, so you can 
paste this code instead of the #includeForm line:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
WIDTH="${width}" HEIGHT="${height}" 
CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash5/cabs/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
<PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="${flashurl}">
<PARAM NAME="play" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="loop" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high">
<EMBED SRC="${flashurl}" WIDTH="${width}" HEIGHT="${height}" 
quality="high" loop="false" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
