I've come upon this also a few times now, and I think the swfobject js 
library is capable of inserting the flash element into a DOM element 
with a specific id-attribute. So it should be possible to NOT write the 
js code inline, but rather just call it in a external file - which can 
be minified/put to the bottom of the page easily - and replace the 
specific element, identified by the id-attribute.

Like this:

<html>
   <head>
     <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
     <script type="text/javascript">
	swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "randomID", "300", "120");
     </script>
   </head>
   <body>
     <div id="randomID">
       <p>Alternative content</p>
     </div>
   </body>
</html>

That way it would be possible to put the JS into the footer etc.
