I bet you are trying to find a nifty way to log your code's processing, right? This comes up a lot and really, there is no good way to do it.
You might try the archives, in case I missed something, but if I'd ever heard a good solution I would have used it myself.

For instance, inside a method, I can obtain a reference to the method by calling arguments.callee. But how do I then obtain from the Function object the function's name: public function testFunction():void { var f:Function = arguments.callee; // How do I get f's name (e.g., "testFunction") here? } I was thinking of iterating through the object's properties, and finding if a given property is the function itself, but this only works for methods dynamically added to the object: public function testFunction():void { var f:Function = arguments.callee; for (var p:String in this) { if (f == this[p]) { // Function name is p } } } Again, this doesn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, -- Frank
