I'm sure that I answered this on the IRC channel but for the record...

Splashy supports whatever directfb supports. Granted that the Splashy code
was written with images in mind. It should be fairly straight forward to
substitute images with mpg's in a theme. Though I'm sure that some C code
would need to be modified to initialize directfb for video instead of
images.

The short answer to this question is then that Splashy has not been tested
to work with SWF and other animation formats. However, it should work in
theory.
