I had to do the exactly the same job as you are doing.
flash > dvd > dvdpayer.
I was given 1 day to transpose flash movies onto dvd. the boss was like...."yeah..just burn em to dvd", the main problem is that i had movies within movies, and about 50 differtnt swf with complex actionscript, there was no way to export as .mov and to solve this i tried every swf to avi or mpeg converter on the plannet but still...no soup.
what i ended up doing (albeit dodgily) was getting camstasia studio and just recording the freakin screen, i though it would look so crappy but the codec that comes with this software was bloody good, animations done in ae and combustion were of equal quality, you couldnt tell the difference (it was projected presentation though). just have your stage at 720 px.a.r and 25 fps. This method may seem crazy but if you have to spend hours altering fla's and your given little time for little money, you gotta do what you gotta do.

alas! i figured this @#$% out and i don't have to resort to the projector method.
for anyone who has to do this in the future and needs some help...
import your SWF file into director and then export as an AVI. it seems that director can understand embedded movies and actionscript. once you have your AVI, you can use nero to create all the necessary VIDEO_TS files on a DVD that will play on your TV.i hope this will save somebody THE EIGHT HOURS OF HELL that i just went through :)
now, if someone wants to tell me how to get this DVD to automatically loop, i'm all ears.

I have never used nero, but a nice feature of working with DVDs is that they allow for actions and the start and end of clips and tracks.
Add an action to the end of your video track that sends the disk back to the start. Simple.
.... I hope Nero lets you do this. Both DVD Studio Pro and Pinnacle do, if not.
