Sorry, I said that backwards. When class foo is compiled, there is no member called bar, so the reference is bound to the global variable. Defining a member variable called bar in the subclass does not affect that. I don't know how convention will develop in other environments but, in AS3, global variables are almost always declared in packages, and strict mode is on by default. The result is that you would always get a compiler error in these cases instead of an ambiguous reference.
