Henry is looking into this, but basically as3 does not give you a way to get the name of any random function. The hack Raju pointed to will only let you extract the name of a function you are executing, and our deprecation warning needs to get that _and_ the replacement. I don't think there is an easy way around this. We ought to just file a bug with Adobe that since they have the function name in debug builds they ought to provide an introspection interface to get at it!
