   Hi Yishay, I added that implicit casting for complex types , so feel obliged 
to fix it.
   
   But so far I could not repro. 
   Is there anything more specific you can share about the original scenario 
that would help me test it in a local repro?
   
   I tried this:
   
   ``` private var _func:Function;
           public function get labelFunction():Function{
               if (_func == null) {
                   _func = function(whatever:Object):String {return 'whatever'}
               }
               return _func;
           }
           
           [Test]
           public function test():void
           {
               var text:String = labelFunction({ }).toString();
               RoyaleUnitTestRunner.consoleOut(text);
               var selfRef:LanguageTesterTestImplicitCast = this;
               //try via member access
               text = selfRef.labelFunction({}).toString();
               RoyaleUnitTestRunner.consoleOut(text);
               assertTrue(true, 'not yet a test');
   
           }
   ```
   But the output from the above looks like: 
   
   ```/**
    * @export
    */
   flexUnitTests.language.LanguageTesterTestImplicitCast.prototype.test = 
function() {
     var /** @type {string} */ text = this.labelFunction({}).toString();
     testshim.RoyaleUnitTestRunner.consoleOut(text);
     var /** @type {flexUnitTests.language.LanguageTesterTestImplicitCast} */ 
selfRef = this;
     text = selfRef.labelFunction({}).toString();
     testshim.RoyaleUnitTestRunner.consoleOut(text);
     org.apache.royale.test.asserts.assertTrue(true, 'not yet a test');
   };
   ```
