Danny,
It seems to me if you're willing to use a "hack" like this, you might as
well take the :Object off your tObj parameter and call it a day. :)
If you look at it objectively, you're adding extra lines of code for no
reason. AS2 has absolutely no gains from strict typing. The compiled
code looks exactly the same whether you use typing or not. Also, you're
tricking the compiler here anyway, so any benefit from typing the
parameter is lost. Why not do it by deleting 7 characters instead of
adding a couple of lines of code?
If you were using AS3, you could use :* but you're not so the equivalent
in AS2 is to leave off the type.
My 2 cents.
