OK. In that case, I will set the master fps to 12.

Thanks, I didn't remember.

There is a small issue when combining them using:

swfcombine freeculture.swf -m -f '#153'=aibo.swf -f '#55'=steamboat.swf 
-o free.swf

Background color in the embedded swf is not retained in the output file 
(with a viewer http://ousia.justfree.com/wrong-embed.swf).

If you want to check yourself, the files are 
http://ousia.justfree.com/aibo.swf, 
http://ousia.justfree.com/steamboat.swf and 
http://ousia.justfree.com/freeculture.swf.

Thanks, it works fine (but only when combining the slave using the -m 
option).
