You mean the Class type then - for a custom class, I think you would
have to create a property to hold that.
class MyClass extends MovieClip{
public var type:String = "MyClass"
}
class MyOtherClass extends MovieClip{
public var type:String = "MyOtherClass"
}
In Flash:
var a:MyClass = new MyClass();
var b:MyClass = new MyOtherClass();
trace(a.type)
trace(b.type)
Name usually refers to the instance name.
