Difference between Object and Dynamic type

Haxe
#1

Can instance of Object and Dynamic types may be replaced with each other ? ie. Whether you create Object type of Dynamic type it will work same?

package myapp ;
 
import flash.Lib;
import js.Object;
 
import openfl.Assets;
import openfl.display.*;
 
 

class Main extends Sprite 
{
 	 
	public function new () 
	{
  		super ();
		var object:Object = new Object({a:1, b:2, c:3, f:function():Void {trace("Hello"); }});
 		 
		trace(Reflect.getProperty(object, "f"));
		
		var f:Void->Void = Reflect.field(object, "f" ); 
		
		trace(Reflect.isFunction(f));
	
		Reflect.callMethod(object, f, null);
		
		Reflect.deleteField(object,"f"); //not working 
		Reflect.callMethod(object, f, null); 
		
		
		////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
		
 		var object:Dynamic = {a:1, b:2, c:3, f:function():Void {trace("Hello"); }};
 		 
		trace(Reflect.getProperty(object, "f"));
		
		var f:Void->Void = Reflect.field(object, "f" ); 
		
		trace(Reflect.isFunction(f));
	
		Reflect.callMethod(object, f, null);
		
		Reflect.deleteField(object,"f"); //not working 
		Reflect.callMethod(object, f, null); 
		
 		
		
		//trace(object);
	 
		
 	}
  	 
}

Dynamic is a haxe type. Object is an OpenFl abstract that is an Object in Flash (as3) and a Dynamic in other platform. So I can tell it’s the same.
