I think we may have already pursued this conversation elsewhere, or else
it's just similar to another thread this week...?
Anyway, Macromedia Flash Player does not embed arbitrary external
renderers. (Shockwave has an extension mechanism, and Adobe Reader can
also invoke ActiveX Controls, but not the smaller Flash Player.)
You can convert to SWF via the FlashPaper printer driver:

Once you have a SWF, it can be embedded within any other SWF. It won't
become a FLA itself (because it's a discrete chunk of material, not a
deconstructable authoring file):
