You can use var objectClassName:String = getQualifiedClassName(object);
If you are using all Flex components, you can use the className property of the flex component which returns just the name like "Button". The other method above works for any object class.

I am using a framework that has a function that requires class name, see below (_ops.hasOwnProperty(name) ): The function expects an array of names (name of object types), such as Button or lineChart. Is there a way to get the class name? So if I am passed a Button object is there a way to get the object type as a string...so "Button". public function doUpdate(t:*=null, ...operators):Transitioner { if (operators) { if (operators.length == 0) { operators = null; } else if (operators[0] is Array) { operators = operators[0].length > 0 ? operators[0] : null; } } var trans:Transitioner = Transitioner.instance(t); if (_axes != null) _axes.update(trans); if (operators) { for each (var name:String in operators) { if (_ops.hasOwnProperty(name)){ trace('ops[name] is ' + _ops[name] ); _ops[name].operate(trans); }else{ throw new Error("Unknown operator: " + name); } } } else { ------------------------------------ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Alternative FAQ location: https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=942dbdc8-e469-446f-b4cf-1e62079f6847 Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.comYahoo!
