It's now (finally) possible to inline with newest actionscript compiler and it's included in the recently released FlashBuilder 4.7: http://www.bytearray.org/?p=4789
Just compile with the -inline argument. The compiler sometimes chokes in some rare cases where it can't inline, and it makes debugging much harder as the line offsets don't match the source code anymore. But the performance gains can be huge as function calls are rather expensive in Flash, and you can just debug without the -inline argument.
