Yes - but - why bother omitting it? It's only a few characters you're saving - the word :Object. If later down the line you decide to change compilers and go with MTASC (or perhaps port your code to AS3) you'll have to trawl back through all the code putting those missing type definitions back in...

You could also leave off the typecasting on the argument. You don't have to type your arguments in AS2, and the compiler won't complain. If the methods inside the argument check what type of argument it is, then it's pretty apparent to anybody reading the code why there is no type on the argument. Typing has no effect except for the debugging and readability. Flash gets no speed benefit from strict typing like other languages do.
