Use swfc. It's essentially the next generation replacement for
swfcombine, and there are few things swfcombine can do that you can't
do with swfc.

A simple example for a "player" functionality (stop, pause, play etc.)
is attached. Hope it's of help.

MovieClip timelines are independent from the main timeline. If you stop
the main timeline, MovieClips will keep running. You need to stop
them explicitly, too, e.g. with
    this.my_movieclip.Stop()
.
