ActionScript 3.0 :: Function Parameter As Unknown Type?

I'm trying to convert some C# code I have and one problem I can't find a solution for is to have a function take parameters of unknown types.

C# code:
PHP Code:
public T Maximum<T>(T v1, T v2){   return v1 > v2 != null ? v1 : v2;} 

A straight translation to AS3 would look something like this, for making it easier to understand for people that might be confused by C# syntax.

[Code]...

This way you can send in anything as the parameters (notice the <T>), be different classes for example, depending on what situation you want to use it, instead of writing a lot of duplicate functions for every possible parameter type.

Is there a way to do this in AS3? Edit: Seems like I managed to find a solution right after I wrote this. Seems like one can use "*" as parameter type.
