A rather dirty way is to enumerate all methods in a given object (the
current timeline, for instance) and compare that to the "self-reference"
that a function holds in arguments.callee.
function test():void {
trace(getName(arguments.callee,this));
}
function getName(funcRef:Function,scope:*):String {
var funcName:String = "";
var desc:XML = flash.utils.describeType(this);
var methodTable:XMLList = desc..method.(@name != "" && @name != null);
for each (var item:XML in methodTable){
if([EMAIL PROTECTED] == funcRef) {
funcName = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
break;
}
}
return funcName;
}
test();
It's just a quick and dirty test, but it works (at least in the timeline).
