What problem ?

You mean _global.getQualifiedClassName ?
Or simply 'getQualifiedClassName' with no 'flash.utils' prefix ?

With the AVM1 layout, and what you find in the 'flash' package as existing
gnash code, you need to fully qualify the names, thus:

        flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName();

Any other way to call it must rely on scope chain (which usually ends
with the _global object being scanned).

I suspect you're talking about namespaces here, not packages ?
