Can you have “ByRef” arguments in AS3 functions?

Sub do (ByRef inout As Integer)
 inout *= 5;
End Sub

Dim num As Integer = 10
Debug.WriteLine (num)        '10
do (num)
Debug.WriteLine (num)        '50

return {a:"string 1", b:"string 2"}

function func(a:String){
    a="newVal";
}

var b:String = "old";

trace(b)    //  old
func(b);
trace(b)    //  old

function Test(a:Object, b:Object):void {
   a = b;
}

funtion Test2():void {
   var s1:Sprite = null;
   var s2:Sprite = new Sprite;

   Test(s1,s2);
   Trace(s1);
   Trace(s2);
}

null
[object Sprite]

function Test(a:Object, b:Object):void {
   a = b;
}

var s1:Sprite = null;
var s2:Sprite = new Sprite;
Test(s1,s2);

function passByRef(objParam:Object):void
{
    objParam.x++;
    objParam.y++;
    trace(objParam.x, objParam.y);
}
var objVar:Object = {x:10, y:15};
trace(objVar.x, objVar.y); // 10 15
passByRef(objVar); // 11 16
trace(objVar.x, objVar.y); // 11 16
