If any control (e.g. a DataGrid) is cast to UIComponent, how can you get its type at runtime?
Is this possible in Actionscript?

You can use
getQualifiedClassName()to get class name by the value as a string. You can usedescribeType()to get the full information about class. And you can useconstructorproperty to get class itself (to instantiate new instance by existing instance). Finally you can useisoperator to compare to the limited set of classes. Less recommended usage oftypeofoperator which is rather obsolete.To select the right way we need to know your particular problem.
