Success! The problem was twofold. First, for whatever reason, I had
to use the embedSWF command instead of setting up a new SWFObject.
Second, the path to the swf file had to be a more fully qualified
path. I'm including my working code below. Hopefully it will help
someone else with a similar problem. Thanks to everyone who helped me
with this one.
echo $javascript->codeBlock("
swfobject.embedSWF('/pickme/app/webroot/_swf/test.swf',
'myContent', '300', '120', '9.0.0');
");
