Well, using root is just bad practice anyway - there's no need for it in
anything you do.

That is an elitist view on the matter. I say, think, then code. If you
mean the main timeline, use root. I am more concerned with people who
insist on dynamic instance names

Surely using dynamic instance names can be faster than using array
lookup in some instances?
For example, I have a number of movieclip classes, I don't want to
extend their functionality by subclassing, so instead of adding an id
property, I derive the id from the instance name - btn_0,

No - I mean just broadcasting events instead of coupling code across

outside the IDE, you don't need to use root.
For events you still need an object to dispatch them on. And it really

Lehr,
try this...
var pArray:Array = new Array();
var mc:MovieClip = pArray[0] as MovieClip;
mc.gotoAndStop(2);
or...
var pArray:Array = new Array();
MovieClip(pArray[0]).gotoAndStop(2);
which is closer to your original AS2.

Well, you use event listeners to call the right event.

You mean like using design patterns? Like the Mediator pattern? The main
