These classes / libraries are not built inside a Flash Player. They are part of the SWF file after compilation.

SWF specification is here http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/swf/p... It is definitely shorter and simpler, than e.g. PDF file format.

There's still a pretty big gap between parsing and actually rendering. I don't think that spec contains anywhere near enough information to play animations the same way that Flash Player does.
