Well that's just plain dumb - it should be part of the stage object, the info is contained in the swf.
I'm trying to write a double buffering class, the first thing it has to do is take a snapshot of the stage to make an opaque copy - but it only sees what's on the stage. That means I'll have to get peeps to pass in their background color to te constructor - not very elegant.
