There are a number Drupal modules that provide integration with Flash based media players and Javascript replacement techniques. We also welcome more general discussion about embedding techniques and conundrums which can cover Quicktime through to ActiveX if it takes your fancy.
People who are interested in tighter coupling between Flash and Drupal should check out the Services group, which covers a number of Flash-related technologies like Flex and AMFPHP.

My main goal is to try and be open and get people collaborating where possible. If you add info as comments, I'll incorporate it into the table.
