RE: [flexcoders] Grabbing the name of the currently executing function

[Gordon Smith]

arguments.callee gives you a reference to the Function that is executing. You can't turn a Function reference into a method name.   What is the use case for knowing its name?   If you need function names only when running in the debug player, I think you can throw an error and get them from the getStackTrace() method of the Error class.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint Modien Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 8:48 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Grabbing the name of the currently executing function   Ya… It doesn’t show me the method name…  describeType(arguments.callee)   I remember there used to be an ASSetPropFlags hack to explose the function names in an obj…  but I didn’t see an equivalent in AS3.     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ralf Bokelberg Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 2:27 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Grabbing the name of the currently executing function   Though i don't think it works, have yout tried flash.utils.describeType?
