It sounds good. I am sure this object will be useful!

You just need to include it there. Since JGenerator processes an .swt to generate .swf,
it knows the file name, so when you need to include loadMovie into it you just
put the .swt name there. FlashFile.getFileName() should do the job.

yeah, may be. but it all depends. I usually do what _I_ need at the moment and that's it.
It seems to be a very good approach, because since this stuff is opensource everybody
can go and modify for himself if he needs something else/more.
