Found this regarding with and MTASC http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?p=4283
Like I said, at least to me..with is pretty useless. You can't refer to other variables or objects with "with" inside the withstatement so a = b is not possible if a and b aren't already part of the "with" object, can't be another object. Code with with is confusing. Even common sentences are confusing with with :) Its better to write it out or copy/paste. If its a long namespace or objects within other objects just store it by reference to a short variable name and access it throught the variable.

I'm not sure but I guess the last time I tried to compile an AS2 class with "with" statements, MTASC didn't like it at all... of course, it doesn't mean I like it less...
