I need a way to “extend” or proxy the Number class in ActionScript.
Basically I’ll overload the toString method of it.
But the Numbers should remain comparable with “<” and “>” operators.

You can’t extend Number. The class if marked final:

Number, as best I understood it, is more like a primitive to the flash player, not a class that can be morphed to our own needs.
I would not expect there to be a way to proxy the class while also retaining the ability to do ‘>’ or ‘<‘ comparisons unless you write your own “greaterThan’ and “lessThan’ methods.
