The Flex framework uses the $foo nomenclature in some mx_Internal APIs to indicate that a property or method is a "base" API rather than an overridden one. But we also mark it final to ensure that it doesn't get overridden.

Hi, The compiler is thinking that super is a method in the 'super' class. No, you cannot call super.super in AS3. You could in a super.super class define protected function $method():void { super.method(); trace(two levels up"); } override protected function method():void { trace(two levels up override"); } then in a subclass 2 levels down call $method(); method(); Anyway, ;-) Peace, Mike PS, I have actually used this pattern with viewMetrics() a couple of times.
