RE: [flexcoders] Anyway to introspect a Module for a list of Classes?

[Alex Harui]

There are no reflection APIs for the list of classes in a SWF

Hello Todd,

 

Probably way to list classes now is to parse SWF binary data manually,
extract bytecode information, parse it, etc.

        Hello All,
        I'm trying to figure out the Flex reflection APIs and their
        limitations. I'm looking for a way to get all the Classes in a
        Module, or even the main SWF of a given type. Is there a way to
do this?
        
        I've looked at the flash.util:
        getDefenition, 
        describeType,
        getQualifiedClassNae,
        getQualifiedSuperclassName
        etc.
        But I dont' see anything useful.
        
        For example, I want to take a SWF and get all classes that
extend
        MyBaseClass...
        
        Thanks,
        Todd
