The combining process breaks the actionscript. That's a known problem,
which is (unfortunately) not fixable.
Consider the following actionscript code in a file called file1.swf:
_root.myvariable = 3;
If the file is combined (e.g. non-merging stack (-T)), then myvariable is no
longer inside the _root clip, but one level below
(_root.Frame00.myvariable).
As the ActionScript in the file still references the variable as
_root.myvariable, the code doesn't work anymore.
A workaround is to always use relative variables (just "myvariable"
instead of "_root.myvariable"). Another option is to always use the -m
option when calling swfcombine, so that the files are all on the same
level.
