While it's legal to embed a Flash file in an EPUB, Flash won't run on iOS at all, so it's not worth pursuing validation.

A huge post toward the middle talks about ISO Mpeg4 and using that format for video, other suggestions talk about using a fallback image, other comments on this page that might help. Good luck!

epub3 format... this file uses the actions from user. and act accordingly. if i use a video it would not have been suited. for that scenario. Thus i gone for HTML5, css3 and jquery. Well thanks for the Suggestion. – Akkss Feb 22 '16 at 14:49

As from the Liza Daly answer and some of my research i found out that apple iOS doesn't support flash any more so it doesn't support swf in epubs. i Acheived it by using HTML5, css3 and jquery.
