Yes you can.  Since SWF is playing through QuickTime you can use my  
EnhancedQT external at
<http://mangomultimedia.com/developer/revolution/enhancedqt.html> to  
process FSCommand events.

The beta version of the external supports FSCommand processing.  Your  
player object will receive a message whenever a FSCommand is sent  
from your SWF movie.  As Klaus mentioned, only version <= 5 though.

I incorporate LiveStage content all of the time.  I've used it for  
incorporating Axel 3D content, interactive movies that use intermovie  
communication, etc.  If you use the external I mentioned above you  
can also communicate between QuickTime movies and Revolution using  
Movie Variables and QTLists.  You can also simulate mouse clicks on  
sprites.
