You can skip the swfcombine step, and just do a

    .swf background filethatwasconvertedbypdf2swf.swf

So you only need to create one SWF (and the swfc script).

Btw., I wonder whether it would make sense for pdf2swf to support
something like

    .pdf somefile.pdf

which does the conversion on-the-fly. In your application, that
would reduce the number of required intermediate SWFs to zero.
