To do it like you are thinking, you will need to use a Flash 9 swf instead of a Flash 8 swf. Apollo will likely do exactly what you want. It is presumed to be released in public beta form in the next few weeks.

I really appreciate the good ideas. I tried this approach, and it (unfortunately) didn't work. What I really need, however is merely to be able to find out how to correctly notate the SCOPE of variables in the SWF, and whether I need to do anything specific to EXPOSE them in the SWF file.
