Well, the SWF structure itself it not so much changed between Flash8 and
Flash9. The main differences are the additional "ABC" tags that contains
AS3 bytecode. I think I saw somewhere there's already an AS3
dissassembler that is accessible as part of the Flex SDK. But haXe
already have its own, with different notations since I didn't knew about
it when I first started working on the Flash9 support.
