I see.  Suggestion then...

If you are *intent* on loading swfs, then how about having a *simple player* 
which
counts ( up or down ) the passing frames of your audio swf?  Then you can time 
your next sample trigger by that.  It may not look quite so neat as a progress 
bar, but,
it's probably way easier to time.

Once the above player is coded, then you can simply use swfcombine to load each
of your converted sample swfs into the player, one by one.  Your little batch
process ( are you using Windows or Bash? )  would then be along the lines of,

  wav2swf -o sound.swf sound.wav

  swfcombine -o player_plus_sound.swf  player.swf container_name=sound_name.swf 

( container_name being the object inside 'player swf' where you put the sounds )


I expect you 'd prefer to see some scraps of working code, huh? ;o)
