Except for course that any variables you write on the stage aren't available
inside classes...
I guess the solution would be to figure out what 'this' is on the stage.
Doing trace(this); gives [object Timeline0_f07ac19cdfe1944b8711232f8d557a]
(with a different hash every time).
This isn't the flash.display.Stage object... anyone know what it is?

Aha! The solution is to have the global object on the stage AS code:
var global = this;
Simple enough, but I was always trying to do it within an as file:
package {
var global = this;
class MyClass() { }
}
Which will cause a compile error for referencing "this" outside of a
class.
Thanks guys.
