That's also the way it's implemented in Parsley, but the wrapper class can be
very simple:
[from parsley]
package avmplus {
public class DescribeTypeJSONAccessor {
public static function get functionRef () : Function {
try {
return describeTypeJSON;
}
catch (e:Error) {
}
return null;
}
But its really worth using compared to describeType:
- faster
- much less memory
- can extract only the needed information, thanks to flags arguments

Wow.
Getting this to work involves creating a wrapper class around an undocumented
method in playerglobal.swc, which is not under our control.
That doesn't sound like a sustainable way forward :-(
