Yes, that would be the best approach, so we don't need to reinvent the
wheel.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to modify some flex-base
classes (namely "mx.core.FlexApplicationBootstrap" and
"mx.core.FlexModuleFactory"), and redistribute them? Because I neither
know the details of their license nor the details of our license.
If it is possible, we could remove all code which isn't necessary to run
an OL-application. This would reduce the overall size from ~13860 Bytes
to ~4900 Bytes.
And some more infos:
This creates a CrossDomain-RSL:
"-runtime-shared-library-path=simple.swc,library.swf"
This creates a standard RSL:
"-external-library-path=simple.swc -runtime-shared-libraries=library.swf"
(At first, when I tried to create a standard RSL, the compiler suddenly
wanted to include the whole flex-framework to the compilation unit. It
was caused by the "<runtime-shared-library-path>"-entry in the
"flex-config.xml", after I've removed the entry, mxmlc stopped to
include the whole framework. So that entry needs to be removed /
commented out.)

Wow, thanks for figuring this out!
I don't know which approach would be better. It would be better if we
did not rely on the mx.* classes if we
can avoid it, but it looks like your method of adding a new base app
class with the RSL bootstrap frame works well so maybe that is the
simplest approach to begin with.

Ok, that's the lesson:
RSL is a flex-only feature and it involves certain base-classes of
the mx.core package. So we've got two possibilities to use that feature:
- either use the flex classes (that'd be "mx.core.FlexModuleFactory"
resp. "mx.core.FlexApplicationBootstrap")
- or re-implement the flex-feature to fit our needs (by loading the
rsl-swf through "flash.display.Loader")
I've attached a working example, especially pay attention the
auto-generated file in the "generated" subdirectory
("SimpleMain_mx_core_FlexApplicationBootstrap-generated.as"). This
shows how mxmlc transfers the RSL-info into the application.

I have been unable to successfully build a flash 9 app which
uses the runtime shared library feature.
I tried linking to the LFC using the instructions from the flex
documentation
(http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_3:Feature_Introductions:Flex_3_RSLs),
and
I keep getting an error that LFC classes are not found. I
produced a simple standalone
test case, attached, that has the same error.
When I run the app, main.swf, I do not see any network request
made for the runtime shared
library (library.swf) using
Firebug or using the Firefox LiveHTTPHeaders plugin.
If anyone can figure out what I'm doing wrong in building this
app, that would be a big help.
Thanks
