Actually i just need to get/set properties from super.super (which refers to Sprite in this case).
Extending the grandparent (Sprite) would mean I would have to rewrite FLVPlayback (approximately 5K lines of code) just to get access to a particular Sprite property. An example of what I am doing is creating a component called "SpecialFLVPlayback" that does everything FLVPlackback does, but adds some functionality that is particular to the way the stream is handled. To do this I need to do a few things, one of which is overriding certain methods. I want to preserve all of the functionality in a method, and simply add functionality. A given method might refer to "super.visible" or "super.width" in FLVPlayback, so when I override that method in "SpecialFLVPlayback" if I still want access to the value reffered to as "super.visible" in FLVPlayback I have no way of refering to it in SpecialFLVPlayback. Unless there is a way that I haven't come across... in either case, thanks for the link and the tips.
