Question

The question itself may not convey exactly what I mean, so I will quickly jump into the code.

var myClass:Class;

And I have my Class A defined with myClass storing Class A.

myClass = getDefinitionByName("myPackage.A") as Class;

Problem is how can I verify if myClass is storing the Class A. The following snippet doesn’t work.

if(myClass == A){
  Alert.show("equal");
}

Why does this comparison fail?

Answer 1

Try this:

Comparing by package name:

if(getQualifiedClassName(myClass) == getQualifiedClassName(A)){
      Alert.show("equal");
}
