If you like Java so much, why don't you marry it?
If you want to make deferential commentary regarding Actionscript, go to
Java forums and seek validation from your Java friends. Unlike us
Flashcoders, I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige.
It's extremely easy to make a document class in AS2 and it is most
certainly not a hack. You make an empty movieclip (CTRL+F8), assign
your main class to it (under Linkage), put it on the root timeline at
0,0 and you're done. Doesn't get much easier than that.
It's not a hack, there is nothing negative about it and it has quite a
few positives. Just build your entire application within that clip.
The "hacks" that I have seen about how to force the root to have a class
assigned to it are complicated at best, and unnecessary (as I have just
illustrated) at worst, not to mention you can run into issues when you
take into account FlashVars and other _root considerations.
When I'm developing, I hear two voices in my head:
Judge Judy says, "KISS! Keep It Simple, Stupid."
and David Hansson says "DRY! Don't Repeat Yourself."
