Dissector for stream data

Hi,

Now i'm writing dissector for some kind of traffic. I'm already got basic
knowledge in dissector writing, so first primitive version was already done.
But now, when I try to complete fully featured version of dissector I got
many trobles with routine. So I'm looking for good advice from experienced 
developers.
First of all, let me describe my traffic a little:
 - most part of traffic is crypted(with rc4)+compressed(with mppc), not
   crypted is only few start frames;
 - few start frames(or packets) have rc4 key inside itself;

So I do next. When I dissect traffic, i looking for first frames, reads rc4
keys from it and put it into static variable, so all other frames(packets)
now can be correct decrypted. But I need to decompress(with MPPC), and here
I got my troubles, cause I can decompress only 'linearly' incoming data
(this is MPPC specific feature), so I'm stuck here. Please, point me to
right way to implement such type of dissector.
