i think its saying that if you need to cast an object to an interface :
function foo(someAnimal:Object)
{
var dog:IDog = IDog(someAnimal);
}
you'll get an error, so dont declare someParameter as type Object, instead
declare it using an interface :
function foo(someAnimal:IAnimal)
{
...
of course if you are really dealing with anything (which seems like a slightly
dangerous situation) then perhaps you could just create an empty interface as a
tag
interface IAnything
{
}
function foo(absolutelyAnything:IAnything)
{
...
