I have integrated SWFObject with Yahoo UI ... and they work together quite nicely since both 
use div containers.

You have to target one of the nested div containers (class="bd") to embed SWFObject (or 
any other content).

YUI can then be used to popup/animate the div container through Yahoo UI API.  Note that it 
is not a pop up window but an animated div container with dynamic content and properties.

Here are the container (popup) examples

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/container/index.html

...

If you take this HTML source as a starting point ..

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/container/overlay-manager.html

then to get going ..

(a) Insert SWFObject script at bottom of overlay_manager.html (before </body>).

(b) Add an SWFObject ID (ID="flashcontent") to one of the body ("bd") containers

e.g.

<div id="oPredefined" style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute">
<div class="hd">Predefined Overlay Header</div>
<div class="bd" id="flashcontent">I was created using simple predefined markup. 
SWFObject will write content into this body container.</div>
<div class="ft">Predefined Overlay Footer</div>
</div>

(c) .. and away you go.

(d)  Also, you can customise the popup Panels by embedding different border content 
("skins") .. see XP Panel and Aqua Panel examples as starting point.  I am using SWFObject 
to "skin" custom panel components (Flash embedded in the skin borders instead of default 
*.gif images).
