I really don't know anyting about AS3, but if youhave a lot of different "entities" in your game, I advise you to use an "Entity System". I can provide you different links :

The classic about this subject :

A anwser I juste made on this forum :

By searching "Entity System" or "Entity Component System" on google you will find a lot of things

NB: This system is useful when you have a loooooot of different entities, to avoid a huuuuge object hierarchy.
