Many thanks Ricardo.
I applied the patch and it works great for me.
The as3compiled version of my Sitemap.swf is around 200 KBytes smaller
than the mxmlc compiled version:-)

My real Sitemap.swf does neither extend MovieClip nor Sprite, but
another Class which extends Sprite and which I would like to let as is
because it is used in other contexts.
So, there is a real use case behind 'Sprite extends mainclass' and it
would be great to see this patch integrated in the next version.

Cheers,
