Flasm produces raw bytecode output, not the "uncompiled" Actionscript 
that swfc expects, which is why this doesn't work. 
I believe there should be some way to make flasm
itself insert bytecode from one file into some other file, though.
Try creating a file (without ActionScript) with swfc, then disassembling
that with flasm, inserting the ActionScript bytecode into the file, and
reassembling again.

One word of caution, btw: The ActionScript from the original file is
most probably copyrighted (by the sIFR makers), so the resulting file
will not be "free". For that, you'd have to reverse engineer what it is
they actually do in their ActionScript and then program it yourself.
