I've seen some issues like that as well. We just ported a large Java project to Flash and came across all sorts of this stuff. If you're interested at all, there are a series of posts I wrote up at http://blog.sharendipity.com/.
I even wrote one about using the Proxy class for implementing a few design patterns: http://blog.sharendipity.com/moving-to-flash-part-4. Although, it turns out it's not as efficient as creating an inner class, but that poses problems with non-public access as well. I digress...
