Thanks! That did help, but it doesn't seem to work for a uint. Here's
my test code:
var testUint:uint = 1;
var testInt:int = -1;
var testNumber:Number = 1.1;
var testString:String = "test";
var testDate:Date = new Date();
var testArray:Array = new Array();
var test:Array = [testUint, testInt, testNumber, testString, testDate,
testArray];
for (var i:uint = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
var typeInfo:String = describeType(test[i])[EMAIL PROTECTED]();
trace(typeInfo);
}
And here's the output:
int
int
Number
String
Date
Array
I'm guessing there's no way to identify a uint -- is that correct?
