I think this may be another way...
if (obj.hasOwnProperty("getChildren"))
children = obj.getChildren();

only objects that inherit the Container class have this functions. When
i have a situation like yours, I usually do something like :
if ( obj is Container)
{
//code here
}
and it works fine. It is possible not to work if your object
was originally an Object , and you further created your
object using a class reference.

Hi,
You could do this;
try {
children = obj.getChildren( );
}
catch (e:Error)
{
trace(e, "obj did not have getChildren( )");
}
Peace, Mike

I'm calling something that takes any type as the first argument
public function myFunc(obj:* ):void
I need to tell if obj has a getChildren( ) method before I call
it and
get an error saying Error #1006: getChildren is not a function.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
