I used to access stage instances that way as well which is probably why I slip back to the dynamic document class and this.childName now and again. I tend to use the getChildByName() method these days though and avoid making the document class dynamic, the references are assigned to private variables so getChildByName() only really needs to be used during the class initialisation. If I'm using a document class I never rely on any variables declared in the timeline, so accessing them from the class isn't an issue.
