The html Wrapper for any flash file is basically a method to alert the user if he has no flash player installed or the false version to play the content and directing him to a global page where he can update accordingly.

You could a swf play directly but it is not recommended if you don`t know the source is trustworthy(this is why air files must include a certificate)

swfobject is just an industry standard way of embedding a Flash file into a web page because it handles all the browser differences internally and has a few other bonuses as well. Adobe even uses this in their own html-template file so they fully support this method.

Can you do it without swfobject? Yes... but swfobject is just the recommended way.
