@Valentin – On the contrary, Global Object is a huge time saver and occasionally a way to increase performance especially in large real-life projects.

One common example of usage is building complex user interfaces – instead of bubbling events and establishing advanced listener systems, Global Object allows to streamline an shrink the code up to 90% by passing and listening to events on $:Global.

Again, this is what people are saying. If you have facts that prove them wrong, please post them here.

Using such global objects is a VERY bad practice which can save you some time in a small project but will grow in a major pain in the ass later.

Hurray for using proxy, I’ve only used it once or twice to extend an Array… Still kind of missing prototypes in AS3, I know you can use still them but they don’t quite work the same way. Thanks for sharing the class Uza.
