You could use ExternalInterface to communicate between the two. It's as easy to setup as LocalConnection (maybe easier).
Check out this example:
http://tracethis.com/wp-content/playground/SWF9_SWF8_Comms/SWF9_SWF8_Comms.html
The content on the left is created by the SWF9 and the content on the right is a version 8 SWF. Typing in the top textfield of one side updates text in the lower textfield of the other side. And no _javascript_ involved.
With this you could communicate synchronously, even create Proxy/__resolve functionality to make most calls transparent.

myLoadedSWF.gotoAndPlay(2), but those are the breaks.

Thank you for your response...I am not very familiar with
LocalConnection, however I have a general understanding...would I
need to create a "sender" lc in my Flex app and add a "receiver" lc
in my SWF to make the two communicate?
