I'm not sure how it could of worked unless the engine has an  
undocumented feature whereby it can load the binary data of an  
external. If it does then that would be very cool. I've never heard of  
that before though.

You have to point 'the externals' property to a file on disk. You  
could try spitting out your binary data into a file in the temp  
directory and then assigning the externals property of the stack to  
that temp file.
