[flexcoders] Remote Objects - a reflective way to determine class?

2007-08-27 Thread Libby 
Does anyone know of a technique to determine the true class of an
object returned via remoting when Flex only knows it as an Object? I
have tried  if(Object is ClassName) and if(Object instanceOf
ClassName) and also tried various casting combinations but so far I
cannot determine what my returned Object is without parsing it to look
for a specific field - not very object-oriented : (

Thanks,
Libby
