<div>
var anyType : Object;<br />
<br />
Further on - when you know the type for sure - you can cast it to the right type:<br />
<br />
var myString : String = anyType as String;
</div>


var anyType : Object;

Further on - when you know the type for sure - you can cast it to the right type:

var myString : String = anyType as String;
