You could certainly store the Flash file itself in a BLOB field, then pull it out with CF, write it temporarily to the filesystem, then serve it up. If you can't even write it temporarily to the filesystem for some reason, you could conceivably use CFIMAGE with the WRITETOBROWSER attribute, then wrap that in a CFSAVECONTENT tag and rewrite the contents to use the generated URL with OBJECT/EMBED tags instead of IMG.
