AS3 with(){} - any way to refer to the object in ()?

Question

Can I refer the thing I just mentioned in with() with a reserved variable or something? Or do I have to write the entire thing out?

with(something){
someFunction(something)
}

In this example it's simple, but sometimes it's really long and I would like to avoid it if possible.

Answer 1

If it was javascript, then you could use valueOf(). I don't know if AS3 supports that.

Answer 2

Yes you can, see this actionscript reference page on help.adobe.com:
