well static void main is the entry point in most languages.
the great thing about aral's approach (and i used it in a big
comercial project last year) is that you can port between MMC and
swfmill/mtasc with no issues. (not that this was a consideraration at
that point).

ideally you would be able to tie a class to the _root without the need
to drop another MC on the stage. this is done usally by adding
//code
import com.namespace.Application
this.__proto__=Application.prototype
Application.apply( this , null );

on the root of the fla. 

it would make the most sense to me, if this could be done automatically.
