One thing you may want to consider is that if you are trying to run a SWF from inside your application directory in AIR, AIR restricts execution of files. If you copy the file to a temp file and the run it (along with allowLoadBytesCodeExecution set to true) then it works.

var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("myFile.swf");
this.tmpFile = File.createTempDirectory().resolvePath("myFile.swf");
file.copyTo(this.tmpFile);

imagePreview.loaderContext = lc;
imagePreview.source = tmpFile.url;
