The bug could not be resolved, so i didnt see any reason to update it.
Work was going on in the background to fix this (libjs-swfobject,
libjs-swfupload and swftools are my packages to get this one resolved).
Take a look into the changelog for exact dates of introduction.

Nothing. There is simply no open source AS1 compiler.

Nothing. as3compile simply lacks the support for some of the language
constructs used in the code.

I dont know. TYPO3 currently ships version 6.0, when jessi comes it
will be surely 6.6+. 4.5 is outdated but a LTS version with support by
upstream until 04-2014.
TYPO3 6.0 introduced another big chunk of AS3 code (flowplayer) which
surely cannot be build in main until flex-sdk hits the archive. I
skipped packaging of 4.6 and 4.7 already because of not buildable flash
files.

Perhaps this is the better choice, as most new TYPO3 projects will use
6.0 or newer. I think many of the currently running installations are
4.6 or 4.7, and only a minority is at 4.5 currently.
