If I may say make so bold, that's lot of AS3 code for very little result! ;o)

You'll find other, more effective viewer code, in the 'swfs' folder from the
SWFTools distribution. Choice of C, AS2, and SWF.  Python versions there too
if it's compiled in.

Why, when SWFTools has AS£ compile?

It doesn't really, no.

Basically you are loading your pdf2swf created swf into a movieclip container. 
pdf2swf looks for that object under the name 'viewport'  If you choose to code
your own viewer, and load pdf's on the fly, then that object can take any name
you wish.
 
movieclip dimensions are manipulated in the same way as you would an other
object. By the use of the width, height, and scale parameters. For example,

        movieClip._width
        movieClip._height
        movieClip._xscale
        movieClip._yscale

HTH helps!
