How to modify a flash (swf) container

I have a swf file that is a container for viewing other swf files.  I don't have the original .fla file of the viewer.  The viewer container has navigation buttons on the top bar (forward back zoom etc).  I want to enhance this functionality by adding another button to the view bar.  The new button will pass the parameters of the currently viewed movie (e.g. its filename) to an external javascript for processing.  I know next-to-nothing about flash but I am a quick learner.
I have Sothink SWF Decompiler & SWF Quicker (regd).  I also have a 30-day trial of Adobe Flash CS4.
I'm assuming I need to reconstruct the .fla to add said button using CS4, but I've been told it's possible to do it direct with SWF Quicker & re-export.
How do I go about it? and what code or actionscript do I attach to the button (if & when I actually create it in the viewer file).  I'm assuming the button needs to be a form to pass parameters, like in jscript?  My SWF viewer is attached as a zip.
Thank you in advance.
