In SWF8 one way might be to get a hold of the sprite movieclip that belongs to the view (you can ask for view.getMCRef(), actually was just renamed to getDisplayObject()). Then you could call loadMovie on it to load the swf file into that movieclip at runtime.
Compiling the swf into the app would be trickier, as the swf8 compiler does some parsing and regenerating of the swf, and would probably break it. In SWF10, I would also recommend using the flex as3 equivalent of loadMovie (the URLLoader API, you could look at how it is used in the kernel swf9/LzSprite.as file). Note that if you're using swf10 apps, the swf file you load must also be swf10 or you will not have any runtime control over it).
