Object (object)

The generic Object object is at the root of the ActionScript class hierarchy. The generic ActionScript Object object contains a small subset of the features provided by the JavaScript Object object. In Flash MX, the Object object has become a native object. As such, you will experience dramatic improvement in performance.

The generic Object object is supported in Flash Player 5.
