I guess you could try to transform the svg into an swfc movie-
something like

    M 521,640 
    L 502,678
    L 270,566
      .
      .
      .

=>

    .put object1=sprite x=521 y=640
    .frame n+=1
    .change object1 x=502 y=678
    .frame n+=1
    .change object1 x=270 y=566
       .
       .
       .

That will work as long as the SVG doesn't contain cubic spline operators
(C), as the .qchange command which will allow movement along a spline
is still a TODO.
