Action Script Calling Director Lingo Function

flash actionscript:
A customer gave me an extensive Flash presentation to publish to a web page.
The problem is that thw SWF's were desiged for use in a Director exe projection
and some Lingo functions are called via Action Script "getURL" (getURL: lingo:
setSound). I can't get the FLA's or Director files -- is there a way to embed
some form of JavaScript or other script in the HTML file that will handle the
Lingo script? Or ... is there any way to embed the whole SWF in another SWF
that I make which will "intercept" a getURL and do something else with it?

See this at: www.samuelcarlisle.com/pfizer/

Many, many thanks. I'm stumped.

Highly doubtful. I think the closest thing you can do is embed the SWF into
another Director movie and rewrite your own Lingo functions to mimic the old
ones. Director can capture code going out of flash and rework it on the fly,
but that is because they are both Macromedia products. SO they work well
together. On the otherhand SWF is open source so if you know how to code it by
hand you might get the results you want. There are also 'decompilers' for
flash which might help you.
