[swfmill] embedding video and accessing it as a class

[Will]

Hi - hope someone is tuned in that can help.

I'm happily working with swfmill and haxe to generate downloadable swf 
files with all assets embedded. But I'm stuck on embedding flv assets.

I have various assets like
<clip id="SomeImage" file="/path/to/png">
<clip id="SomeSwf" file="/path/to/swf">

which I pump into swfmill and then via haxe and as3 can instantiate like so:

var imageClass:Object = getDefinitionByName('SomeImage');
img = new imageClass();

var swfClass:Object = getDefinitionByName('SomeSwf');
swf = new swfClass();

THOSE WORK GREAT!


Then I tried this for flv flies:

<clip id="SomeVideo" file="/path/to/flv">

but the flash player complains about the compiled swf: "the swf contains 
invalid data."

and this is just doesnt like at all since it does not seem to be defined 
properly as an accessible class.

<video id="SomeVideo" file="/path/to/flv">
