Wow, you're right there is information missing. I'll look into adding it.
You will have to chase down baseClassNames though. CheckBox doesn't
really have much, most of what it you are looking for it will get from
UIButtonBase.

Same thing. You'll have to keep chasing baseClassnames from Button to
ButtonBase to UIButtonBase.

One of the things I'm working on is exactly this problem. The SWF classes
might be based on Sprite and so will look like they have scaleX/Y, but the
JS version of those classes won't have those APIs (yet). The goal is to
get the compiler to report errors about the use of APIs missing on the JS
classes.
