Okay, it appears that Number and other classes with custom toString()
methods put it in the AS3 namespace. You can see that with [Number.toString()
in the API
reference](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/Number.html#toString%28%29)
and it's the same in playerglobal.swc. For some reason, I thought it was the
other way around. Regardless, ActionScript uses the AS3 namespace to avoid
conflicts in toString() and some other methods because, as Alex noted,
ActionScript is stricter than JavaScript.
