You can use a box to mask the content area ---
<mx:Box id="loaderMask" backgroundColor="black" width="918"
height="424" x="1" y="1" />
<mx:SWFLoader id="grillNav"
source="{ServerLink.getImageURL('swf/grills.swf') }"
unload="unloadSWF()" complete="initSWF(event)"
height="424" width="918" x="0" y="0" mask="{loaderMask}"
/>
this will restrict the display area of the embedded swf file
