Simply load your movie externally instead of embedding it in-line like
you used to, some simple javascript works well:

in your xhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/intro1.js"></script>

intro1.js:
document.write('<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="intro1.swf" height="62" width="672"><param name="movie"
value="intro1.swf" /><img alt="" src="images/intro1.gif" height="62"
width="672" /></object>')
