    At a minimum, your code isn’t working because you have a syntax error here — you’re not concatenating your “i” value: 

    document.getElementById("mySWF").innerHTML = 
                        "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"SWFObjects/test_"i".swf\" width=\"300\" height=\"120\">";

    It should be like this:

    .../test_" + i + ".swf...

    Given your requirement, you’d be much better off using something like Flowplayer. If you just use javascript, all you can do is something like setInterval(), and javascript won’t know anything about the state of the swf — if something prevents the swf from playing within 10 seconds (or whatever you set the interval at), the script will load the next swf anyway — very brittle design. Flowplayer uses playlists where you can define a list of any length, and the next video will only play once the previous is done — regardless of how long it takes. Take a look at this sample. I use JSON to return dynamic lists of variable length. Use whatever server-side language is at your disposal to inspect your file system and return the list of file names.

    If you simply cannot use Flowplayer, note that HTML object syntax varies according to browser/version. I see that you’re loading swfobject.js, yet you’re not using any swfobject functionality. Why? Take a look at the swfojbect javascript API.

    That said, the following script will handle the interval functionality:

    var loadSWFObjects = function() {
    var i = 1;
    var sInt = setInterval(function() {
        if(i >= 50) {
            clearInterval(sInt);
        }else{
            i++;
        }
        document.getElementById("mySWF").innerHTML = "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"SWFObjects/test_" + i + ".swf\" width=\"300\" height=\"120\">";
    }, 10000);
}

    And just do this if you want it to occur on page load:

    window.onload = loadSWFObjects;

    If you need a more flexible/modern onload handler, try this or google.
