The return type * is represented by the Any class and the return type void is represented by the Void class, both members of the org.spicefactory.lib.reflect.types package. All other return types are represented by their corresponding Class instance.

Implementation
    public function get returnType():ClassInfo
Method detail
invoke()method
public function invoke(instance:Object, params:Array):*

Invokes the method represented by this instance on the specified target instance. If necessary, parameters will be automatically converted to the required type if a matching Converter is registered for the parameter type.

Parameters
instance:Object — the instance to invoke the method on.
 
params:Array — the parameters to pass to the method

Returns
* — the return value of the method that gets invoked

Throws
ConversionError — if one of the specified parameters is not of the required type and can not be converted
