It doesn't look as though they have swfdec-mozilla, but if you want to install any other packages from testing/unstable you can either download the deb's from http://www.backports.org/ or add 'deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free' to your sources.list. You'll then need to update ('aptitude update') as usual, and specify to install from backports for the package you want. e.g, 'aptitude -t lenny-backports install package-you-want' Hope that was of some help.
