Depending on what you need to access, one way could be through a
singleton class. Add the private static var and getInstance() method
as shown below to any class, and you can then call it from anywhere.
This only works if you will only ever have exactly one instance of
this class.

Well, I definitely can't claim to be an expert on the issue, however I'm
sure we're using Tahoma 12 Bold in all our files. Perhaps something is

Well it's not :) In Flash 8 it can be possible by drawing making it opaque,
drawing it and sampling it (maybe) but that, I've not tried. You can pass
the bg color from HTML as a parameter and set it as well.
And with two tags, yes this means total of 4 copies of the bg color per
flash instance
I must be having an off day - but I can't for the life of me find out
