It's actually quite easy:

.swf name="result.swf"
    .shape overlay "overlay.swf"
    .shape background "map.swf"
    .frame 0
    .put background
    .put overlay
    .frame 10
.end

Put this into a file, and then run "swfc <filename>".

If "map.swf" needs a specific SWF background color to display properly, 
with the newer versions of swfc (from CVS) you can also do:

.swf background=#ffffff name="result.swf"

or (in this case) simply

.swf background=white name="result.swf"

If map.swf is something converted from jpeg or png, you won't need that,
though.

Hope that helps,
