SEDW recently released an updated version of Themes Creator version 3.27. The new version supports bundling Flash Lite SWF files for standby screen content (screensaver/wallpaper) into the actual theme file. Previously it was not possible to bundle SWF inside a SE theme file.

Note that only devices supporting themes vs. 4.7 can use SWF bundled in the theme file. This includes SE C702, C902, W760, W980 (all Flash Lite 2.0 devices). For other devices you must distribute the SWF content seperately from the theme.

I tested out the new software and it does allow you to browse to and specify a SWF for the idle screen. It does not display a preview of the SWF file. I do not have any of these devices so I cannot test out whether the phones automatically configure SWF for the screensaver/wallpaper when a user selects the theme.
