How to use varargs in Flex with Actionscript

Variable Arguments, or Varargs as they are commonly known, allow you to pass zero or more arguments of a data type to a function. The advantage being that the function does not need to have a fixed number of arguments in its method signature.

Sample Code

The following example uses Varargs to return the total of a series of numbers.

private function sum(... nums):Number {
var total:Number = 0;

	for(var i:int = 0; i < nums.length;i++){
		total += nums[i];
	}

return total;
}
