I looked back through the commit log because I knew there were reasons for having org.apache.flex.events.MouseEvent extend org.apache.flex.Events.Event rather than flash.mouseEvent. There were cases where was code that was expecting a generic org.apache.flex.events.Event and having org.apache.flex.events.MouseEvent inherit from flash.events.Event was causing problems. I would be careful about changing this wholesale.
