With AS2, you can use typeof and instanceof operators, but typeof is
only limited to a few classes so you can only test for MovieClip,
Button, String, Function & a few others.
You may need to look at stricter typing for your dynamic "objects" and
having fixed properties for these rather than just creating them all as
Object - try creating a class for these "objects" instead (you can just
use public variables/properties and manipulate these directly without
resorting to methods, etc). Then the compiler will help you out if you
type the argument to the function to this class - you can't really have
the loose type checking of AS1 with stricter OOP of AS2 / AS3 - I may be
wrong though.

I ran into a particular situation where i had a function that took an
Object as a parameter. I needed that Object to be an actual Object
i.e. dynamic because the function was going to add properties to it.
But since everything in ActionScript is an Object I had trouble
enforcing this.
Is there a way to check to see if an Object is dynamic? Or is there a
way to enforce something as an Object rather than a subclass of in
Object (which is everthing else)?
