Thanks, these are all very useful suggestions. Unfortunately the
3rd-party swf did seem to break when I tried loading it into my own
flash movie so xray may not work for me. xflas2 is interesting in
that having a general reflection API would be useful in other
contexts.

I've had this situation before as well, and what I did was create a base
flash movie that loaded the 3rd parties SWF in. Xray was in the library and
ready to inspect their swf. THe only problem with that is something might
break since now, that swf isn't at _level0. For that, you might try setting
_lockroot = true on the swf that's loaded and go from there.
