Also, I'm pretty sure that there is some compiler option you can use to prevent specific classes from getting linked in. That's a lot easier than trying to remove them after they've been linked in.

It seems unlikely that you could remove a class and still have the SWF work. If the class wasn't used by your application, the MXML compiler wouldn't have linked it in.

There's a field on DoABC called ABCData - I would assume that's the bytecode. hmm. i'll keep looking arund. if anyone has any ideas hook me up.
