[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20080823-bargull-ZMZ Summary: add RegExp support to swf8

[André Bargull]

Yes, the 'undefined pattern in AS3' thread is about this compiler error. 
Therefore I've changed the variable typing from "Object" to "*", so 
compilation proceeds successfully for swf9. With that change, I'll 
commit the whole changeset, ok?
