In theory it shoudln't be that hard to just remove certain files from the source as all the Flash objects are usually implemented in a self-contained way, but as I said: in practice noone did that yet. If you want to save size, adding -DSWFDEC_DISABLE_DEBUG to the CFLAGS - before running configure - will certainly help. It removes all debugging output. Other options that might save space at the cost of debuggability are -DG_DISABLE_CHECKS -DG_DISABLE_ASSERT -DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS With all of them enabled and -O3 stripped, libswfdec is roughly twice as fast and libswfdec-0.9.so takes 892839 bytes here, which is a lot less than my 22.5MB for the non-stripped debug enabled libswfdec I usually use. ;)
