Get the type in flex

actionscript-3, apache-flex, flash, reflection

Solution

You can either test against a particular class using the "is" operator or you can use flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName() (you pass it your object) - which will return a string of the fully qualified class name.

Problem

can someone tell me how I can identify the type of an object in flex? In particular I have an array where I store multiple types in (but all UIComponents) now as I evaluate the array I want to find out whether I have a TextInput Control or a RadioButton. Does someone have an idea? Thanks in advance
