I've been declaring classes extending MovieClip as dynamic. Using this to
get the child seems to work.
this.fullScreen;
And to get the object to cast to the proper type, I've had to have it in the
code.
FullScreen;
trace(this.fullScreen); //should trace [object FullScreen]
FYI, I've been using swc's to load MovieClips from Flash CS3. Things may
behave differently when working entirely in Flash CS3.
Also, I get namespace issues when I declare empty variables with movieclips
that already have instances of those objects. I mean essentially declaring
MovieClip extensions the old school way doesn't appear to work.

Does that work? I'm getting a namespace conflict.

Thanks all, I ended up with something like this...
package com.foo.view.playerSkins {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.sky.view.playerSkins.*;
public class SkinInventory extends MovieClip{
private var fullscreen:MovieClip;
public function SkinInventory()
{
_init();
}
private function _init():void
{
fullscreen = getChild(this, "fullScreen");
fullscreen = (fullscreen as FullScreen);
}
public function getChild(stage, _name:String):MovieClip
{
return stage.getChildByName(_name);
}
}
}
