Out of memory trying to uncompress SWFs generated with Falcon using ByteArray.uncompress()
I understand that not all LZMA variants are understood by ByteArray,
but it would be super-friendly if Flex SDK generated such SWFs which
could be read using ByteArray...
Attached SWF was compiled using Falcon, but can't be read using ByteArray.
Thanks!

You are welcome to try to create SWFs like that and see if they load and
run properly.
Good luck,

Yes, some further investigation showed that the way the compiler
writes the LZMA payload and the way ByteArray.uncompress() expects it
to be are incompatible. But one can manipulate them to get ByteArray
to load LZMA payload, see the end of this discussion:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775743. The code in the
discussion worked for me, but I was wondering whether it is possible
to generate the payload in such a way that these manipulations
wouldn't be necessary (I'm not sure whether Flash player is able to
load such SWFs - something I've not yet tried).

SWFs are not completely compressed. There is an uncompressed header at
the front.
Right now there is no option for a different compression algorithm. You
can choose not to compress though.

PS. Is there a way to control what compression algorithm is chosen by
the compiler to produce SWFs?
