SWFCombine - SWF File Merging Tool
This section describes the SWFCombine tool, which can be to merge a slave SWF file into a master SWF file. SWFCombine can also be used to stack or concatenate SWF files together.
As you see from the previous section, SWFCombine from SWFTools is an impotent tool to merge a slave SWF file into a master SWF file.
Here is the manual page of SWFCombine 0.9.1:
NAME swfcombine - a tool for combining swf (flash) files Synopsis swfcombine [-rXYomlcv] [-f] masterfile [-xysf] [(name1|#id1)=]slavefile1 .. [-xysf] [(nameN|#idN)=]slavefileN swfcombine [-rXYomv] --stack[1] [-xysf] [(name1|#id1)=]slavefile1 .. [-xysf] [(nameN|#idN)=]slavefileN swfcombine [-rXYov] --cat [-xysf] [(name1|#id1)=]slavefile1 .. [-xysf] [(nameN|#idN)=]slavefileN swfcombine [-rXYomlcv] --dummy [-xys] [file] DESCRIPTION Take two or more SWF files, and combine them into a new SWF. SWFs can either be stacked (no masterfile is present) or inserted (into the masterfile). SWF files are animation files which can be displayed in Web Browsers using the Flash Plugin. For template mechanisms, it's often convenient to separate the processes of generating small animation fragments and merging them into a big movie. swfcombine can be used to perform the latter. OPTIONS -t, --stack Don't assume the first file is a master file. Instead, store each file in a separate frame. -T, --stack1 place each slave in the first frame (no master movie) -m, --merge Do not store the slave files in a sprite/MovieClip. Instead, merge the files frame by frame. -a, --cat Concatenate all slave files (no master movie) -l, --overlay Don't remove any master objects, only overlay new objects -c, --clip Clip the slave objects by the corresponding master objects -d, --dummy Don't require the presence of slave objects. Usually used together with -X, -Y or -r. -f, --frame The next slave replaces a frame, not an object. Therefore the slave identifier is a frame number (#frame=) or frame label (framelabel=). -x, --movex xpos x Adjust position of slave by xpos pixels -y, --movey ypos y Adjust position of slave by ypos pixels -s, --scale scale Adjust size of slave by scale percent -r, --rate fps Force the output to have the framerate fps. (Otherwise, the framerate of the master file will be used) -X, --width width Force movie bbox width to width (default: use master width (not with -t)) -Y, --height height Force movie bbox height to height (default: use master height (not with -t)) -N, --local-with-networking Make output file "local-with-networking" ...

Note that the SWFCombine tool can also be used to stack or concatenate SWF files together.
