   I'm wanting to add a movie into my sidebar (using widgetized theme "Beautiful Sunrise").
   I thought that my best bet was using the plugin "WP-SWFObject".
   Now when I get to the movie part I realize that a .swf isn't a no-brainer for me as my export options for movies are all .flv or .mov
   Will a .flv work in place of a .swf?

   My movie tolls have been iMovie, Quicktime Pro and Adobe Flash CS3 Encoder.
   As far as I cn see none of these will export the movie as a .swf.

   That's something I would like to know as well. A FLV Embed widget for example. That would be great!

   For an FLV (Flash video) or MOV (Quicktime video), try the WordTube plugin, it comes with a sidebar widget.

   Forget about Flash, SWF, "flash movie" etc... unless you're creating a custom video player. Adobe uses the term "movie" for flash runtime applications and that may confuse... "movie" != "video". You want video.
