Constructor (Object.constructor Property) - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE Reference

The following code can then be placed in a FLA file and will function the same way as it does
in the previous examples:
var myBook:Book = new Book();
myBook.bookcount = 5;
trace("You ordered "+myBook.bookcount+" copies of "+myBook.bookname);

constructor (Object.constructor property)

public constructor : Object
Reference to the constructor function for a given object instance. The property
constructor
is automatically assigned to all objects when they are created using the constructor for the
Object class.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5
Example
The following example is a reference to the constructor function for the object.
myObject
var my_str:String = new String("sven");
trace(my_str.constructor == String); //output: true
If you use the operator, you can also determine if an object belongs to a specified
instanceof
class:
var my_str:String = new String("sven");
trace(my_str instanceof String); //output: true
However, in the following example the property converts primitive
Object.constructor
data types (such as the string literal seen here) into wrapper objects. The operator
instanceof
does not perform any conversion, as seen in the following example:
var my_str:String = "sven";
trace(my_str.constructor == String); //output: true
trace(my_str instanceof String); //output: false
