ActionScript is tricky for a compiler, because there
are circumstances where it *cannot* know which object
you're working on.
Consider this code:
var o:Object;
if(Math.random()<0.5)
o.member = new String()
else
o.member = new Matrix3D()
o.member.transpose();
There's no way of telllng whether "o.member" is
a String or a Matrix3D, and hence, whether it'll
have the transpose() method or not.
