grep'ing through piles of ancient code, I couldn't find anything. Now I
think that my memory is confusing me a bit and that what I once did was
porting the relevant bits and pieces from PHP to C#... mmm... long ago...

May be, you could use this one:
<http://phpclasses.linuxpourtous.com/browse/package/1653.html>
Google for "swfheader.class.php" and you should find a version that does not
require a registration to download.
