Check if an object is a Bitmap... how?

[Sparticus007]

I have some code that loops through all the objects in the displaylist. Is there a way to tell is the object it found is a Bitmap?

I've tried things like :

1.) typeof(obj)
2.) if(obj is Bitmap)

But they don't seem to work.

Ideas?

I use the following and it seems to work well, but there might be a better solution.

if(String(obj) == "[object Bitmap]")

Trace out the object type using trace(obj) and then replace Bitmap with it. I use custom classes so one of my objects was a Note and i would use the following:

if(String(obj) == "[object Note]")

Basically just a string comparison, i didn't really want to research any solutions so i came up with this for myself.
