   I feel dirty when using prototype. It’s like, I have to get off my as3 high horse and descend back to the ranks of as1 and javascript kiddies

   ’twas just a joke… I just remember these ‘apps’ with a zillion MovieClip.prototype functions and I get the heebie jeebies Mind you, your solution is pretty 1337, even if it’s slower.

   Hi Tink,

   I’m just curious; what’s a real world example where you’d need to test for an object’s inheritance? Or is there a particular design pattern you could point me to that uses this and I’ll look it up?

   Thanks!

   I wanted to make sure that class specified as the custom preloader class for a flex app (your not able to get an the instance, only the class that was used), extended a base class I had set up, so that runtime styles are loaded as part of the preload/initialize process..
