Try out flex.utils. I thing there is a getFullyQualifiedClassname method or something like that. That may work for null objects.

No, and it doesn't make any sense to do so. var b: Date; Tells the compiler that variable b is to be used to reference a Date object; It allows the compiler to make sure that you keep to that contract. By not assingning the variable b, you leave it referencing nothing - null; ( b is Date ) is now asking to check that a variable pointing at nothing (null) is a Date. It is not a Date, so the result is false. You ask about knowing the variables type - well you already do - you've told the compiler that b will hold a Date. For your purposes, the (something is Someclass) will always return false when something is a null reference - it cannot be any other result. Paul > cheers > > David > >
