If you just want to test yourself, the most simple test is that if your flash file is displaying on the page, then swfobject is doing it's job :) (that is assuming you followed the steps required for either static or dynamic publishing, and are not using any other embedding method on the page)
Did you end up using the code generator? (this can be really helpful to new users) Feel free to post a link to your page and people can take a look.
