In strict sense, AS3 does not allow you to do function overloading. The link that you point to is something like "Do function overloading by hook or by crook". What it does it that it defines a single function, wherein you check for the object type, and based on that call different functions.
To elaborate a bit more -- it defines a base function, which takes its argument an "Object" class. Since the "Object" class is a super class for all the classes in AS, you can cast any class into this. Then in your function you typecast this "Object" to the appropriate class, and call the corresponding function that you have defined for it. Since you are putting in so much of type checking effort, you might as well call each of these functions directly.
