If your SWF is like a video, not interactive, then you might try converting it to video before inserting it into Storyline. You can google "convert SWF to video" and find some potential solutions.
If your SWF is interactive then you may consider trying to build the interaction in Storyline rather than using the SWF.
If your SWF file is a movie that requires no interaction from users, you have the option of converting it to a video file before inserting it into Presenter. Unfortunately scrolling panels are not a native feature in Presenter, but perhaps you could use the notes panel to add longer amounts of text, if the SWF video file option doesn't work for you.
It sounds like the SWF animation is scrolling text, re-reading the initial post. If that is the case, and the SWF video is non-interactive, then converting it to video should do the job.
Ok, I think I'm finally piecing everything together here. You're trying to use a SWF for scrollable text and you're working in Presenter which doesn't do this natively.
Got it, sorry for taking a little while :)
Hopefully Alyssa can give you some guidance on a solution that is supported in HTML5.
Absolutely! This tutorial explains how to use the Notes feature in the Presenter Player. By default, built-in player tabs, like Notes, display for all slides in a course. If you want to display the Notes tab for only certain slides, you can do that. To learn how, see this tutorial.

Hello Ramya, after publishing are you uploading your content to a LMS or webserver for previewing? This is many times necessary with Flash content.
Which version of SL are you using?
Hello Ramya!
By chance are you viewing the published content with HTML5? Flash (SWF) files aren't support in HTML5 for Presenter '13 or Presenter 360.
I am using it for LMS publishing.
Yes I am viewing the content with HTML5.
Can I know whats the solution for this issue ?

I need to publish it in Articulate LMS not story-line.

Its a scrolling action. Video wont work actually.
Could you explain me How to use notes panel to add longer amounts of text.
