Hello Chris

Thanks for looking into this

I am sorry, I forgot to mention that this is a >>school project<< 

So in order to graduate, yes, am More than hellbent on doing this.
I know how to do _javascript_ interfacing in actionscript. I don't know how to get the viewport to be seen by swfcombine.

package
{
    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    public class Main extends MovieClip
    {
        public var viewport:MovieClip;
        
        public function Main()
        {
        }
    }
}

Here's where I am. I compile this with as3compile. 
How do I make the viewport seen by swfcombine? What more needs to be done?

swfcombine -o test.swf Main.swf viewport=LowLatencyData.swf
WARNING Didn't find anything named viewport in file. No substitutions will occur.

swfdump on simple_viewer.swf says

[HEADER]        File version: 4
[HEADER]        File size: 505
[HEADER]        Frame rate: 25.000000

[002]        35 DEFINESHAPE defines id 0033

[01a]         5 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0030 at depth 0003
[01a]         9 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0031 at depth 0004
[030]        30 DEFINEFONT2 defines id 0118
[025]        41 DEFINEEDITTEXT defines id 0119 variable "/:subtitle" (readonly)
[01a]         5 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0119 at depth 0005
[001]         0 SHOWFRAME 1 (00:00:00,000)
[000]         0 END

So something else was done to PLACEOBJECT2 name viewport

And swfdump of my Main.swf

[HEADER]        File version: 10
[HEADER]        File is zlib compressed. Ratio: 69%
[HEADER]        File size: 1173
[HEADER]        Frame rate: 25.000000
[HEADER]        Frame count: 1
[HEADER]        Movie width: 400.00
[HEADER]        Movie height: 300.00
[045]         4 FILEATTRIBUTES as3
[052]      1126 DOABC
[04c]         9 SYMBOLCLASS
                exports 0000 as "Main"
[001]         0 SHOWFRAME 1 (00:00:00,000)
[000]         0 END

No PLACEOBJECT2 there.

So what do I have to do?

Help is greatly appreciated

Or alternatively, how do I use the actionscript ExternalInterface.addCallback (which exposes the _javascript_ interface) in .sc ? I don't have to force myself to use actionscript 3, I just need to get this thing done.
