i’d like to know if something i exported to AS from library is a movieclip, when i test it with this function it returns the custom class name i assigned.

you can always use the simple “is” operator

if(obj1 is MovieClip)

}

I was double checking that I had this right and thought I would share: var a:Array = new Array(); var aClass:Class = Object(a).constructor; var aClassByUtils:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName("Array") as Class; trace("by consctuctor: " + aClass); trace("by utils: " + aClassByUtils); trace("(aClass == Array): " + (aClass == Array)); trace("(aClassByUtils == Array): " + (aClassByUtils == Array)); trace("(aClass == aClassByUtils): " + (aClass == aClassByUtils)); Dave, great post, and Gabriel Mariani, great addition.

var a:Array = new Array();
var aClass:Class = Object(a).constructor;
var aClassByUtils:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName(”Array”) as Class;

trace(”by consctuctor: ” + aClass);
