HiI am just embarking on my first Cairngorm based Flex app. In one of the sample apps there is the following syntaxpublic function onResult(event:* = null):void{}Could somebody please explain exactly what the argument "(event:* = null)" is actually doing. Obviously the argument is called
Hi Graham,
you're exactly right, * is a wildcard, meaning the parameter event
that is passed to the function, can be of any type. By default, if not
passed in, it is assumed NULL. This also is written somewhere in the
docs but at the moment, I can'T remember where it was.
Cheers, Thomas

Title: Re: [flexcoders] Flex/Cairngorm Syntax
The * is an approximation of the Object keyword. Can be any type. Im not sure whether the typing is preserved or not but im sure Matt can confirm this. In effect event is cast as any object rather than having a strongly typed function call
an Object type for the arg... but to use any other arg type (like event
: Event) the Command would need to implement some totally new Responder
class.
