AS3 test for class type

Question

I have a function that gives me the class type of the object that I am passing.

public function getClass(obj:Object):Class {
return Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualifiedClassName(obj)));
}

Now if i do that

trace(getClass(panelStack[0]));

I get [InfoPanel class] in the output window, which is correct

But if I do it

trace(getClass(panelStack[0]) is InfoPanel);

I am wrong, but I expect it to be true.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here. I'm about to tear the last parts of my hair!

Thank,

Mark

You are almost there, just delete the call getClass(). Try instead:

trace(panelStack[0] is InfoPanel);

is , , . getClass(), .

Answer 2

getClass(panelStack[0]) is Class
