Greg's link is actually incorrect though. Getting a SWF into the feed using the share button, or by a Facebook user sharing a link, requires use of the meta tags specifying the content type on the page: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share/Specifying_Meta_Tags. You can also use the stream publishing methods to get SWF content into the feed, and you don't need to be whitelisted for this (or at least didn't when I first started using it). You just have to specify the flash media type when using this publishing method: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.publish. Information on the flash media tag can be found here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Attachment_%28Streams%29. Hope that helps, let me know if you still have any questions.

Meaning what did you put in the HTML of the page to get Facebook to "recognize" that it needed to place that image/arrow to the left of the link that plays the swf?
