Question

Is it possible to specify that a return type of a function is the same as one of the parameter types where it is unknown what the parameter type is. For example:

class Factory {
    public function get(interface:*):Object {
    }
}

The problem with the above is that I have to cast the object to interface all the time.

Answer 1

Can you do this?:

function example(type:*):*
{
    return type;
}

Doesn’t seem to require casting:

trace(example(new Sprite()).alpha); // 1
