Maybe. I think we could try not having org.apache.flex.geom.Rectangle extend flash.geom.Rectangle. Some utility/static method would convert to/from flash.geom.Rectangle as needed. I think it would make for an extra step when using Flash APIs, but maybe that is less painful than what we have now. It might be possible to do some compiler tricks. I haven't thought it all through, but what if the compiler always resolved org.apache.flex.geom.Rectangle as flash.geom.Rectangle? -Alex
