Subject: [flexcoders] Quickest way to test whether something is an
Object not a subclass?
What is the quickest/most effecient way to test whether something
is a
generic Object ie created using new Object or {...} as opposed
to a
class which extends Object.
i.e I am trying to avoid using flash.utils.describeType
tks
[flexcoders] Re: Quickest way to test whether something is an Object not a subclass?
Nope, not for Object
is returns true for every parent class type
Button is UIComponent == true
Button is Object == true
and in your example you will actually find tmp is Object == true
So no that wont work when its Object were talking about..
but getQualifiedClassName works just fine
tks

You could use the top level operator provided by Flex. The 'is'

Say I have a object of class ArrayCollection like below:
var tmp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
Now I can use the 'tmp' variable in following way:
if (tmp is ArrayCollection)
the result of the above if statement would be true. Same goes
with the Object. If I have a class derived from Object and use the
above if statement to see if the class object is Object, it would
return me false. It would return me true for the class type which
extends the object.
Else you have a
getQualifiedClassName
()method in the utils package as mentioned by Alex, to do the same
thing.
I hope this might help you.
