[haXe] Problems with flash7 and haxe 1.13

[Michael Pliskin]

Hello all,

  I've just started using haxe 1.13 for our application, and found the
  following issues with flash7 version we have.

  1. TextFormat.getTextExtent method is marked flash8-only now for
     some reason, while Adobe states is was available before:
     http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002808.html

  2. There are multiple compile problems when accessing
     haxe.remoting.Connection class. There is no
     flash.external.ExternalInterface in flash7, so the code should
     contain the conditional flags for that making call, jsConnect and
     other methods unavailable - but it just throws a lot of
     'ExternalInterface is only available under flash8' - and it's
     even non-trivial to guess that Connection class is the problem.
     The worst thing about it is that you don't need to try to use js
     remoting - you can include Connection class to make a server
     remoting call, and the code still won't compile.

  Attaching two patches fixing this...
