Is it possible to embed external swf?

I have a swf embed into my home page and get it work used this script:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="720" height="480">
<param name="movie" value="./images/1.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="LOOP" value="true">
<param name="menu" value="true">
<embed src="./images/1.swf" width="720" height="480" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="false">
</embed></object>

However, my server provider the download bandwidth just about 20k/s is really too slow to load a 1mb swf. So I try to move the swf outside my server to a much faster public host.
I tried many ways to change the above script to point the swf to an external path but failed.

Is it possible to embed from outside? Or the swf must stay under a zen cart folder?

Re: Is it possible to embed external swf?

Hi, i am also trying to embed swf file into the home page. I need it to be in the actual header of the template which uses css to embed the header image. Anyone perhaps know how to use swf in a css file by changing the image refernce to an swf reference? Thanks
