well, u don't actually link to it by that, u need to put it on a html file. Use this code

<param name=movie value="whatever.swf">
<param name=quality value=high>
<embed src="url of whatever.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="whateverwidth" height="whateverheight">
</embed>

I think that's it.

yes anybody that has flash will see it. if you don't than you can't as you will have to download flash before you watch it.

<html>
<body bgcolor="#000000">
<table height="100%" width="100%" align=center border=0>
<tr><td align=center>
<EMBED src="movie.swf"
WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="480"
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</EMBED></td></tr></table></body></html>

this is all you need.

Actually, the best way to get the coding for displaying it is to publish it as an html document and then just copy/paste that code onto your page. Also, the flash code has cool things to it like, whenever it detects that a browser does not have Flash Player (version whatever) it auto-downloads the file onto the persons computer. I just think that is pretty neat, because then they don't even have to click on a link.
