Yeah, i have used one of the SWF modules for Flash.

Its just a wrapper around libswf.a, created by some generous individual at SGI.

It supports the Flash-3 command set (i.e. no Flash4/Flash5 style scripting), so extensive Flash scripting support is what you want, you may be on your own (forced to implement the SWF spec yourself) unless there is another project that includes this.

I wasn't able to get the control i wanted over my Flash presentations with this module - i.e i couldn't get the 'jump to frame and stop' actions working properly, so eventually (I was somewhat time-constrained) i gave up using it and the project i was looking at using it for is now based on Java servlets creating GIFs on-the-fly.

Still, for simply creating a static Flash page, the module works quite well.

You can find it at http://the-labs.com/PerlFlash/

Hope that helps.
