I take it you didn't put this to the test?  A spot of experimentation
often tells you what you need to know.

JOI I tried, to see what would happen.

    jpeg2swf -r .1 1.jpg -o 1.jpg

then swfdump'd the output file with

   swfdump 1.swf

This was the result,

So, does this answer your question? ;o)
