Say I have a declared class List with

var className:String = ‘List’;
static var symbolOwner:Object = one.two.List;

////////////////////////////////////////
At runtime I want to to access the path of the class, eg ‘one.two.List’, of any object I instantiated.

problem 1) List.symbolOwner returns Function type.
problem 2) [ instanceObj.className ]symbolOwner is not recognize.

If you have any suggestions, thanks aheaed.

Sure, it’s static, so hit the class name itself:

trace(List.symbolOwner);

Is there a way to acess the symbolOwner at runtime?

Strike that, I do now. Page 38 of the Flex Builder Tutorials.pdf shows you how. You basically control click a breakpoint next to the ActionScript line in question, and then click the debug button instead of run on the MXML file running it; you’ll then switch to the AS file when that part of AS is run.

Well, the one time I used Flex a long time ago I just played with some samples and modified their code, I never created my own nor used Brady. However, maybe this article will help?
