in flex, get function name from Function object

Question

Given a Function object, can you get its name as a String? See example:

function doThingWithCallback(callback:Function):void {
   trace("i'm going to run " + callback); // outputs "i'm going to run function Function() { }"
}

function foo():void {
   ...
}

doThingWithCallback(foo);

This example is sort of arbitrary, but it would be very useful to get function names for debugging, particularly when passing around Function objects.

See the best answer to this question.

To my knowledge, the name of a function can only be determined while the function is on the callstack.
