  WordPress will become a powerfull CMS when it would alow .SWF file format.
  Without .swf support WordPress will not prevail.

  WP should could look for a solution and talk to adobe about it, instead of hiding behind the ‘security’ story.

  .swf is not supported due to security.

  VideoPress (http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/) will work for videos, and or youtube.

  Security is a major thing as if any wordpress.com blog gets hacked it could litterally bring down the whole network.

  I notice that you don’t have any posts yet. In case you don’t know that wordpress.com is a wpMU (multi-user) blogging platform please read these entries http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You could hire a web host and move to self hosting a free standing wordpress.org install from http://wordpress.org
