There is a difference for AS3 ! (and this is the correct behaviour)

"To call a function defined in a dynamic class, you must use this to invoke
the function in the proper scope"
This holds true for AS2 as well. In fact, this is a perfect example of
the *right* use of the keyword "this".
In this kind of situation, you need to include "this" to dereference a
function that is not known to exist at compile time. Otherwise it's an
ambiguous statement, because the function, not being found in the class
definition, is sought in the global scope instead. That would be
especially bad if a similarly-named function does happen to exist in the
global namespace, because you won't get a compiler error but the wrong
function would be called.
