  You and me both. :-) What I know of Flash is from working on GameSWF. 
There are differing behaviors based on the format of the movie, so it 
will unfortunately be important to check the version. You can use the
global variable in impl.cpp, movie_version, to check the version. You 
can see two places in place object where reading the next event or 
actionscript from the byte stream of the movie changes from 16bit to 32bit.
