Well, the risk is letting other users post it as it can contain embedded, malicious content. If you are the one calling it up in a template and know it not to be malicious then there is no problem with that.

It is easy if you have written that flash script yourself. But if it is provided by someone else, you would still not know for sure.
So this is more an issue if trust than anything? What if you wanted to share something made of flash, is there no way to prove that it's clean and won't hurt the forum?
If you would allow members to use flash, then it would really be a security issue. If you as admin are the only one, then it depends mostly on the admins common sense.
Yes we understand that part But what if you (as an admin) has a clean Flash file that you wish to share with another admin? Is there no way for the second admin to check the file to see if it's OK?
if the flash file is published and protected no, if you have the original .fla file you can send them that so they can verify it is clean and then they would publish the .fla themselves, this is assuming both parties know flash and have Macromedia Flash
