ObjectUtil contains fundamental methods to efficiently and easily work
with any type of object.
static public TYPE_STRING:Stringstatic public TYPE_NUMBER:Stringstatic public TYPE_OBJECT:Stringstatic public TYPE_BOOLEAN:Stringstatic public TYPE_MOVIECLIP:Stringstatic public TYPE_FUNCTION:Stringstatic public TYPE_UNDEFINED:Stringstatic public TYPE_NULL:Stringstatic public function stringify(object):String
Stringifies the passed-in object using the stringifier returned by the
static Config.getObjectStringifier method.
object | the object to stringify |
the string representation of the passed-in object
static public function typesMatch(object, type:Function):Boolean
Checks if the type of the passed-in object matches the passed-in
type.
Every value (even null and undefined) matches type
Object.
Instances as well as their primitive correspondent match the types
String, Number or Boolean.
object | the object whose type to compare with the passed-in type
|
type | the type to use for the comparison |
true if the type of the object matches the passed-in
type else false
static public function compareTypeOf(firstObject, secondObject):Boolean
Compares the results of an execution of the typeof method applied to
both passed-in objects.
firstObject | the first object of the comparison |
secondObject | the second object of the comparison |
true if the execution of the typeof method returns the
same else false
static public function isPrimitiveType(object):Boolean
Checks if the passed-in object is a primitive type.
Primitive types are strings, numbers and booleans that are not created via the
new operator. For example "myString", 3 and true are
primitive types, but new String("myString"), new Number(3) and
new Boolean(true) are not.
object | the object to check whether it is a prmitive type |
true if object is a primitive type else false
static public function isTypeOf(object, type:String):Boolean
Checks if the result of an execution of the typeof method on the
passed-in object matches the passed-in type.
All possible types are available as constants.
object | the object whose type to check |
type | the string representation of the type |
true if the object is of the given type
static public function isInstanceOf(object, type:Function):Boolean
Checks if the passed-in object is an instance of the passed-in
type.
If the passed-in type is Object, true will always be
returned, because every object is an instance of Object, even null
and undefined.
object | the object to check |
type | the type to check whether the object is an instance of
|
true if the passed-in object is an instance of the given
type else false
static public function isExplicitInstanceOf(object, clazz:Function):Boolean
Checks if the passed-in object is an explicit instance of the passed-in
clazz.
That means that true will only be returned if the object was instantiated
directly from the given clazz.
object | the object to check whether it is an explicit instance of clazz
|
clazz | the class to use as the basis for the check |
true if the object is an explicit instance of clazz else
false
