[flexcoders] What is the difference between :Object and :*

[Sefi Ninio]

Hey.

This might be a noob question, but I really want to get to the bottom of
this, and can't really find information in my searches.
So, what is the difference of defining a variable as Object or as *?
Or (same question really) what is the difference between a Object function
return type and a * function return type?

Thanks,
Sefi
