Probably both.
For AVM1 the only way to access stuff in subpackages
was trough GETMEMBER, so in your example above
it would go:

        push 'flash'
        getmember // gnash triggers get_flash_package
        push 'display'
        getmember // gnash triggers get_flash_display_package

If AVM2 gives access to those classes w/out all those
getmember this auto-load mechanism won't work.
I guess the ClassHierarchy thing triggers the loaders
based on name and namespace, so I'd try using both.
