var so = new SWFObject("intro-1.swf", "intro-1.swf", "320", "280", "8", "#FFFFFF");

1) Download swfobject 2.1:
http://swfobject.googlecode.com/files/swfobject_2_1.zip

2) Copy swfobject.js and expressInstall.swf to the same directory where your movie intro-1.swf.

3) Modify your html code to something like this (also take a look at the swfobject documentation (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation)):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Page title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {
moviename: "intro-1.flv"
};
var params = {
bgcolor: "#FFFFFF"
};

swfobject.embedSWF("intro-1.swf", "movie", "320", "280", "8.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params);
</script>

<div id="movie">
