Adding to the insight, if you wanted to use the 'is' operator with those two
arguments, you need to create an instance of the Class and then use the 'is'
operator.
This would let you know if it is an instance of the object passed.
public static function
isObjectInstanceOfClass(obj:Object, cls:Class):Boolean
{
return obj is new cls();
}
We have asked the player engineers about the performance hit on this is not
as bad as describeType in some instances.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
