You dont' need to be a *master*. I'm certainly not.  I've added a simple
example at the top of this page,

   http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/Code_Snippets

shows a simple 'swf' load. Amend the file name in the loadMovie line to
reference your own swf video, then compile it with swfc, and run.

You might also wish to review this page,

http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/How_do_I_create_my_own_viewer%3F

especially the little Appendix at the base of the page.  The same
technique applies to embedding swfs inside other swfs.

Sorry, but I don't use Flash or Flex at all, so .fla files are not
really useful as examples.   Easier to show me the swf files and
the actual video you are trying to embed inside!  Feel free to try
again, and I'll happily link them together fro you.

My cousin's son lives out there, but am not sure which island
he's actually on.  Must find out.

Hope the above helps a little.

Chris.
