228 ActionScript language elements
CHAPTER 2 ActionScript classes Documentation for ActionScript classes includes syntax, usage information, and code samples for methods, properties, and event handlers and listeners that belong to a specific class in ActionScript (as opposed to global functions or properties). The classes are listed alphabetically. If you are not sure to which class a certain method or property belongs, you can look it up in the Index. arguments Object | +-arguments public class arguments extends Object An arguments object is used to store and access a function's arguments. While inside the function's body it can be accessed with the local arguments variable. The arguments are stored as array elements, the first is accessed as arguments[0], the second as arguments[1], etc. The arguments.length property indicates the number of arguments passed to the function. Note that there may be a different number of arguments passed in than the function declares. See also Function 229 2
