See: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/specialTypes.html#* The type * is just like Object but it can also store values that are undefined. Object can only store null.
It's useful to determine whether a dynamic property actually exists on a type and just happens to be null, or whether it literally is not defined on that type. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adam Pasztory Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 2:42 PM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] star (*) data type vs. Object Can anyone tell me what the difference is between setting a generic variable's data type to Object and setting it to *. Are they equivalent? I tried to search for the answer, but it's hard to do a search for *. :) thanks, Adam
