I have a function in which I’d like to return an Object or false.
Is a return type of * ok to use? are there any downfalls to this? (besides it being a bit lazy in some cases).

You could also return
nullinstead offalse. Then your return type could still beObject.For my taste, an Object is still too vague. Almost everything is an Object in ActionScript.
The more specific your types, the more errors are caught by the compiler before you run it. Strict typing is your friend!
