Ok, things are working for my now.  A couple of observations about the
API:

 - It lacks a fail() method.  I added this to Assert.as:

     public static function fail(msg:Object):Void {
             addTestResult(String(msg), "fail", false);
     }

 - Tests are allowed to continue after an assertion fails.  I'm used to
   JUnit practice of aborting a given test when a problem is noticed -- the
   assertXxx() method throws a special exception that the framework then
   catches, before continuing to the next test in the TestCase.

 - The assertXxx() methods can often construct resonable error messages
   if none are given; i.e. msg = "Expected undefined; <"+assertion+">".
   Will you accept a patch to add this?
