Is there any way to generate a thumbnail image of a Flash movie

Yep, there is a way -- I've seen it done. But, I didn't do I myself
and I
don't have a reference for you. But, it IS possible.
If nothing else, you could go the Rube Goldberg route: script to open
movie in browser window, take screenshot of browser window, then
resize the resulting image and return the thumbnail.
For your sake, I hope there's a library (or maybe a 3rd party service
with an api) that just does it directly.

You can use http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
great tool I used it but you need a ssh access to your box to compile
the binary (I am using 1and1 and I compiled it without root privileges)
I used to use this script:
<?
$script_path = "/kunden/homepages/16/xxx/htdocs/ffmpeg";
$flv_path = "/kunden/homepages/16/xxx/htdocs/";
$jpg_path = "/kunden/homepages/16/xxx/htdocs/jpg/";
$filename = "test.flv";
$seconds = 10;
$image_name = "frame";
for ($i = 0; $i <= $seconds $i++) {
$command = $script_path."/ffmpeg -i ".$flv_path."/".$filename.
" -ss ".$i." -vframes 1 -f gif -pix_fmt rgb24".
$jpg_path."/".$image_name."_".$i.".gif";
echo $command."<BR>\n";
exec($command);
}
echo "done\n\n";
?>
it will give you 10 frames (every 1 second) starting form the beginning
of the movie
it worked great but I don't remember why I used .gif instead of .jpg :)
maybe on 1and1 some jpeg library was missing

I just noticed that you want SWF -> JPG not FLV -> JPG
I read "flash movie" and assumed .flv
I am not sure if ffmpeg can do swf - check their docs
