Ok, that is what I thought, MTASC references and all..

How would you propose I set about implementing class stubs for AVM2
with swfmill, so that we can instantiate assets from swfmill generated
SWFs successfully at runtime?

I have sort of peeked at the methods, traits and sequences of opcodes
required to setup the classes and link them to an asset properly, but
since you have experience with the source code, may be you can set me
off in a right direction?
