With regard to the fonts, you can get information about their size, position, and font names by using pdf2text from pdftron.com ($250 USD) that gives output like x, y, width, height, font, rotation, font size, word:

112.313, 599.305, 346.255, 78.3017, "MJCPFJ+Impact", , 10, "SHOE GUIDE"
66.8296, 611.741, 15.6389, 69.6441, "MJCPFJ+Impact", , 7, "SPRING "
81.6285, 611.741, 23.4584, 65.4371, "MJCPFJ+Impact", , 4, "2010"
468.808, 662.239, 98.1003, 13.625, "MJCPFJ+Impact", , 16, " BY KEVIN FONGER"

just in case it helps,

Ok thanks. Swfdump seems to give me some useful information
about the swf content.

Though I don't understand if it's possible to use the font information
to make embedded fonts in the swf file, enabling me to create dynamic / input textfields.

If I would use device font, that limits me to the users installed font,
and what I can see from the swfdump info I can't even see the name of the font (only gives me a bunch of coordinates and splines)

   Not that I know of, though I can see no reason why it could not be

   replacing one object with another.

   swfdump; and ;swfstrings; to a point, do exactly that, don't they?
