[Swftools-common] Development assistance for monitoring of swfs

[Kurzad]

I've embarked upon attempts to get something coded in-house for the
company I work for that monitors the availability and download time of
various swfs in our corporate websites.  I'm also hoping to be able to
confirm that certain content exists inside the swf, though I know
that's a limited avenue based on the format of the swf itself.

I've achieved basic success using some lua scripts, simple wgets, and
making use of your tools to extract the contents out of the swf for
processing.  My problem is that because I'll have to hit multiple swfs
on multiple farms and individual servers every 5 minutes or so, I need
something a bit more robust that can be threaded and doesn't generate
as much disk IO.  I'm only starting down the road of learning C, but I
thought I'd look around and see what I could figure out.  It seems
like your source code may hold the answers I seek, but full
understanding of the code is currently beyond me.  It seems like maybe
rfxswf.c might be doing most of the work that I need, but I could be
completely wrong. Everything I've looked at seems heavily
interconnected.  I can probably understand it better if I keep looking
around, but asking would speed up the process, and I'd like to make
sure that what I'm doing is ok and possible before I spend too much
time on it.

Would it be possible to steer me in the right direction regarding
which .h and .c files would benefit me most for this effort?  Would it
be possible and acceptable for me to make use of them and compile them
into my own application?  Is this something possible to do or should I
go down the road of trying to re-architect this myself?  I really only
need the raw output, ie text and actionscript, for my own parsing
purposes.  My thanks for your attention to my explanation and barrage
of questions.
