I had half suspected it might do that...

Or better, with swfmill and an XSLT.

I’ve had it in mind to add something to swfmill to import ABC blobs.
It’d also be good to be able to optionally import code from an
existing swf, discarding all other contents, in the same way as
as3compile. That could be used to do things like constructing true
preloaders.
