Little update, I realize this is several years old, but with AS3, instanceof has been deprecated and replaced with “is”.

Thanks for the article though as I needed to know about instanceof to get to knowing about is!

Typed Arrays have been added on MTASC CVS, see this post : http://lists.motion-twin.com/archives/mtasc/2005-September/016414.html

Hi Paul,

the as2lib TypedArray checks for the correct type at run-time by doing a simple instanceof check and throws an exception if the type of the value is wrong. This works only with non-dynamic access. If you for example do something like “myArray[0] = ‘myValue’”, type-checking won’t work (I’m working on a way to solve that).

btw. nice article indeed, it gives a good overview.

Greetings,
Simon
