Return a var-args function that will attempt to pass only the arguments accepted by the passed-in function. Does not work if the passed-in function is varargs, and anyway then you don't need adapting, do you? An array of arguments to prepend to each call may also be given.

     // let's say you have this function
     function printUser (user :User) :void
     {
         trace("UserId: " + user.id + ", name: " + user.name);
     }
          // and you want to print all your users. (Normally the forEach callback requires 3 params)
     allUsersArray.forEach(Util.adapt(printUser))
          // now let's say you have this function
     function printUser (indent :String, user :User) :void
     {
         trace(indent + "UserId: " + user.id + ", name: " + user.name);
     }
          // and you want to print all your users with some spaces before each line:
     allUsersArray.forEach(Util.adapt(printUser, "   "))
     

A nice utility method for testing equality in a better way. If the objects are Equalable, then that will be tested. Arrays and ByteArrays are also compared and are equal if they have elements that are equals (deeply).

Returns a property of an object by name if the object contains the property, otherwise returns a default value.

Initialize the target object with values present in the initProps object and the defaults object. Neither initProps nor defaults will be modified.

Returns true if the specified object is just a regular old associative hash.

Is the specified object 'simple': one of the basic built-in flash types.

Get an array containing the property keys of the specified object, in their natural iteration order.

Returns a function that will call each of the given functions in order.

If you call a varargs method by passing it an array, the array will end up being arg 1.

Returns a function that returns its nth argument, or undefined if there is no nth argument.

Get an array containing the property values of the specified object, in their natural iteration order.
