Does it say anywhere in the GPL that requested code has to be commented
and readable? :-)
Anyway the link I posted earlier should apply to all languages similar
to JAVA considering LGPL:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-java.html
"The way I interpret it, libraries would have to be loaded as an extra
SWF to be on the safe side"
I see it the same way.

Uhm... I really don't think that "can be decompiled" qualifies as
"making code publicly available". Local vars and comments aside, the
same would be true for Java and lots of other languages.
Frankly, I think there is a good possibility the author intended the
lib to be used the way you want to, and just chose the GPL as a
generic open source license without giving the implications any
thought. A short mail should clear things up, and a positive reply
could be taken as permission (the author can license his code to
anybody any way s/he pleases). So just mail the author, describe what
you want to do, and ask nicely if it's OK.
Generally, I would like some more clarity on the LGPL in regards to
SWFs. The way I interpret it, libraries would have to be loaded as an
extra SWF to be on the safe side, but I can't imagine this is the
intention of most of the authors.
