Had you noticed that when adding a viewer, as in say ..

     pdf2swf -b  a.pdf -o b.swf

The last thing that pdf2swf does is run swfcombine wth the -X and -Y options?
See  http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/Swfcombine

So, you could maybe do

     swfcombine  -X 280 -Y 400 --dummy viewport="b.swf" -o "d.swf"

or something along those lines?

Then wouldn't it be an editor that you need?  'swfcombine' isn't exatly an
editor..  Then I suppose you could concatenate two or more swfs,  adding
one with links, and one with a movies,  then call an external function to do
what you wnated ..?
