Guys, Say I have this: function findMeAClassMagic() : Class { ... } var foo : Class = findMeAClassMagic(); Can I determine whether or not the class represented by Foo is a Bar or a subclass of Bar, without attempting to call a new foo() and hoping foo has a zero-argument constructor inside a try-catch block? I'd rather not risk any unwanted side-effects if possible, as I can't always know that foo() won't do something unruly. Cheers, -J -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
