Can I do a typeof find a custom class?

[nburlington]

I want to trace through all the items on the stage and find every instance of MyCustomClip instances. Can I do that?


if(typeof(clip.getChildAt(i)) == "MyCustomClip"){ do something}

As far as I'm concerned, typeof is outdated, use the "is" operator instead, and yes, that works on custom classes.


if(myVar is myClass){
//Whatever!
}

getQualifiedClassName() works as well, if you need the full name.
