Re: [flexcoders] how do I get the "type" or "class" of an object in AS3

Thanks Tom,

I've been using "as" already. In fact, I must say I am really impressed with the compiler, which actually suggests that you use "as" when you are trying to do type casting the old type(object) way. It says something like "hey dude I think you are tryin to type cast, but the way you're doin it is real old school and wont work in AS3. Try it this way using "as"!

Hey Hank,

Check the "Other" section at this link:  http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/langref/operators.html

"as" is a new one too.

Thanks Claus.

So "is" is a new keyword. Cant find it in the online docs because I
guess its to common so it returns "nothing found". Does that have any
other uses?

Thanks
Hank
