Question

How do you get an instance of the actionscript class Class from an instance of that class?

In Python, this would be x.__class__; in Java, x.getClass();.

I’m aware that certain terrible hacks exist to do this, but I’m looking for a built-in language facility, or at least a library routine built on something reliable.

You can get it through the ‘constructor’ property of the base Object class. i.e.:

var myClass:Class = Object(myObj).constructor;
