What's the meaning of as(Object) ?

I want to know the meaning of as(Object) attribute or command?

The example scripts are followed;

1) current.subnodes[index].as(Object).color

2) token.resource.as(Object).centerObjects[1]

What's the as(Object) meaning?

I can't find the description of as() in the manual?

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.1

as attribute as as command

The command is the explicit casting of values or classes. The command subnodes casts implicit into treenode. The class treenode does not contain color or cast implicitly into the class Object. But "color" is a property of the class Object. Then you cast into this class explicitly to Object.

@david.seo, it is correct, that you don't find casting explicitly in the manual like method or property of the class. But if you read the Flexscript Class Reference treenode you find the description.

Maybe a member of the development can write this a bit better.
