Use .texture for that:

.flash filename="texture.swf" version=6
    .png p1 "p1.png"
    .texture t1=p1 x=-20 y=-30 scale=100%
    .box b1 width=200 height=200 fill=t1 line=0
    .put b1
.end

(you'll need to play around with the scale and width/height
 parameters to get what you want)

That feature's now included in my working version of swftools
(which'll get uploaded in a few days).
The new syntax is
        swfc -  # read from stdin
        swfc -o - # write to stdout
e.g.
        cat anim.sc | swfc - -o -
.
