It is our understanding that swf library names are local to the swf.   
That is, `attachMovie` looks up symbolic names relative to the swf it  
is running in.  There is no way to use `attachMovie` to instantiate a  
resource from a loaded swf into the main timeline.  If there is a way  
to do that with importAssets, we'd like to know about it!
