A: 

Didn't try it myself. But maybe, if linking directly against the swc doesn't work, a possible workaround could be writting a simple do-nothing class that just extends the class in your swc and have your fla use it as the document class.

Something like:

package {
    import your.package.Content;

    public class MainClass extends Content {

    }
}

Yep, it does work. I actually already solved it yesterday and hadn't gotten around to updating this post. Thanks for the answer!
