Finding a function's caller

[HotN]

If I've got a public function in a class that I know is being called from an object outside the class, is there any way to access either a reference to the calling object or at least the calling object's type from within that function without passing the caller through as a parameter?

Nope, arguments.caller was removed from AS3.

I guess you could save it in a global variable or something silly like that, but that's hardly a solution.

In debug player: trace(new Error().getStackTrace()); + a lot of sphisticated string parsing + describeType() etc.
In release player - no.

Oh, and BTW, there's a more convenient way, like this:

Though, again, for debugger only.

Following the stack trace in the debugger got me where I needed to go, thanks!
