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.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5 - As of Flash Player 6 the arguments object supports all methods and properties of the Array class.
