Description
In haxe, you can only call your class's static functions implicitly without a typename. In as3, you can call your superclass's static functions in this manner as well. So static functions called implicitly on superclasses need to have their class name explicitly specified. (e.g. staticMethod(); becomes SuperClass.staticMethod();)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with an AS3 class that implicitly calls a static function inherited from its superclass, then trace the converter's handling of that call. Done means the generated Haxe qualifies such calls with the superclass name, while ordinary implicit static calls remain unchanged.
