There are a number of ways of essentially 'hacking' AS2 to behave in a more classic OO manner. Personally, as it IS a hack no matter what you do in AS2, I always keep it simple and just import a Main.as file, rather than go to unnecessarily elaborate lengths to fool myself that I'm really using a stricly typed, perfectly conventioned OO based language. But fear not, AS3 will let you create the document class you long for. In the most mature example of popular commercial OO based code, Java, the best practice is always to call the main dcument class "main". If you stick with Java best practices you won't go wrong with AS.
