How do I get from an instance of a class to a Class object in ActionScript 3?

Solution
You can get it through the 'constructor' property of the base Object class. i.e.:
var myClass:Class = Object(myObj).constructor;
Problem
How do you get an instance of the actionscript class `Class` from an instance of that class? In Python, this would be `x.__class__`; in Java, `x.getClass();`. I'm aware that certain terrible hacks exist to do this, but I'm looking for a built-in language facility, or at least a library routine built on something reliable.
