Once I did something similar, except we were not using SWC's but SWF's, and
it was a Flash project (not flex).
We gave a third party agency the url to an swf that they would load at
runtime. That swf contained some library of classes, but there was just one
base class that they had to use directly (the rest were for internal use of
the library). They would create an instance of the class using the
getDefinition() method.
On their side, that class instance was typed as an interface to our main
class. So, in the end, we handed them an interface that covered all the
public methods in the main class (so they could compile in strict mode
without errors), and an extra class where we put all the public event
constants. It worked out fine.
