Flash Player doesn't care what the underlying storage of a SWF is.  It's not an S3 problem per-se, but a problem of how you've configured your environment.

What Flash Player *does* care about is whether or not it's served over the correct protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), that it has the right mime-type set (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that if you're accessing resources from within the SWF, that any cross-domain requests are made to destinations that provide a crossdomain.xml file that grants sufficient permissions to make those requests.

I assume, by the way, that this just shows the form of your URL. The actual URL you posted is of a nonexistent bucket.

Perhaps not setting the appropriate content-type, that caught me out with different types of file in S3. It may also be that there are extra security limitations, as part of the plan to block Flash completely soon, which are different in each browser.
