from the Adobe site http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/: SWF File Format Specification (Version 10) The SWF file format is available as an open specification to create products and technology that implement the specification.
This looks like MW can use flash 10 and its swf format. I asked Adobe about this question. I let you know what there answere is.

I don't think making it work with free flash players is an option. Just like MP3, free software is able to play it, but the format itself is not free and will thus not be used by the WMF.
The problem with MP3 is it's patent-encumbered. Is Flash patented? The only objections I've heard to it are that there are no decent free players, so it's not possible to run most Flash on a free software stack. If pains were taken to ensure that the Flash worked with gnash, I don't think there would be a problem.
