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.
