Well, you can't do argument overloading in AS2 (nor AS3, I believe), so
you can't have pure polymorphism in Flash the way you can in other
languages like Java. Such is life.
Alternatively, you could write your own class for the argument that could
be an array or an object and then cast it strictly as that class.
Well, it would work just as well to have
Class StrictArray extends Array {
}
Ought to work perfectly (although I'd be interested to see whether bracket
access still works). But yes, why bother? :)
