[flexcoders] arguments class?

[sbyrne_dorado]

The Flex 2/AS3 docs make it appear that arguments is both a
variable, as well as a class.  Can anyone clarify this for me?  If I
want to store arguments away for later usage, what type should I
specify (apart from Array, which I *think* will work, tho given that
there's not a type inheritance relationship there, it may not)?

Not sure what you're trying to do...  but you might want to have a look at
this?

I'm not sure, but 'arguments' is considered old-fashioned. In AS3 you
should use
 
function f(param1:int, param2:String, ... rest)
 
rest has type Array. You don't have to use the name 'rest'.
