Is there an [embed] alternative for Flash only (not flex)?

Question

Ok we all know that you can embed assets with Flex using the [embed] code.

But is there anyway to achieve something similar to this when working with only Flash?

For example: I need to create a class (that contains certain assets) that needs to be used in the Flash IDE, but I don't want to have to drop all the assets into the library for every Flash file that happens to use the class.

I don't see why it wouldn't be tolerated. Cheers once again, very helpful! – Chris Dec 23 '11 at 07:23
@Chris: as far as I know, they prefer more argumentative replies. :-) – AsTheWormTurns Dec 23 '11 at 07:33
