The way PreLoaderTemplate is currently implemented,
"original_movie.swf" will be stored inside a MovieClip in final_movie.swf.
Thus, "relative variable paths", like /mysprite1/button1, or
"_root.button1", will no longer be valid.

You can, however, remove the following two lines in swfs/PreLoaderTemplate.c:

      tag = swf_InsertTag(tag,ST_DOACTION);
      swf_ActionSet(tag, a2);

and then try the following:

    swfcombine -o final_movie.swf PreLoader.swf loader=swft_loader.swf
    swfcombine --merge -o final_movie.swf final_movie.swf 
movie=original_movie.swf

This will place original_movie.swf on the _root layer, too, so the
problems should go away.
