Usage
myObject.constructor
Description
Property; reference to the constructor function for a given object instance. The
property is automatically assigned to all objects when they are created using the constructor for
the Object class.
Example
The following example is a reference to the constructor function for the
var my_str:String = new String("sven");
trace(my_str.constructor == String); //output: true
If you use the
instanceof
class:
var my_str:String = new String("sven");
trace(my_str instanceof String); //output: true
However, in the following example the
types (such as the string literal seen here) into wrapper objects. The
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
