Well, Zope by default (and purpose) does not access filesystem
for URLs. Plone has a lot of filesystem based stuff but this 
does not work via direct access. Zope creates objects out of them
at start. (simplified)
Just create a Folder object in Zope and add a File object, then
upload your SWF. Point the URL in the skin (for plone) 
to that URL and voila. It might be confusing if you change
a file system based skin and point to an URL in the object tree.
But then, plone is a product for zope, not zope :-)
