get object from a method in as3

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to know from which object a method (a Function object) came from? tx

Answer 1

The keyword "this" will give you the object the method ("function") is located (unless you are using delegates.)

You can use arguments.callee to get a reference to the current function, but there's no arguments.caller to get the object calling your function. You'll have to pass that object as an argument.

Answer 2

Not altogether orthodox, nor efficient, but you could play around with this overflow user's original post:
