so you could do:
var myClassName:String;
var xx= new myClass();
if (xx instanceof myClass){myClassName="myClass";}
else if (xx instanceof someOtherClass){myClassName="someOtherClass";}

instanceof does not return anything - It is not a method, but an operator.
You can use instanceof only to compare - like this:
var xx:XML = new XML();
trace (xx instanceof XML);
// output will be true.
