how to get a class name

[yang_dx]

i have an instance of some class, how can i get its class name? the "typeof()" function always return "Object" but not the exact class name.
thanks for help!

You can use the atribute classroot to find the 'typeof' your instance.

thanks,
but i think the classroot is still an instance of a class,
what i want is a string which is the class name but not the instance name.

try using "className" like

if( someObject.className == "MyClass" )

i tried the className property, but it's an undefined.
any other ideas?

myObj.toString() will get you the name of the class

<canvas height="180" width="500" debug='true'>
<class name="tt" bgcolor='red'/>
<script>
var ss=new tt(canvas,{x:20,y:20,width:100,height:100})
Debug.write("classname "+ss.classname);
</script>
</canvas>
