Returns information about the class, and properties of the class, for the specified Object.

Parameters

Pretty-prints the specified Object into a String. All properties will be in alpha ordering. Each object will be assigned an id during printing; this value will be displayed next to the object type token preceded by a '#', for example:

      (mx.messaging.messages::AsyncMessage)#2.

This id is used to indicate when a circular reference occurs. Properties of an object that are of the Class type will appear only as the assigned type. For example a custom definition like the following:

        public class MyCustomClass {
          public var clazz:Class;
        }

With the clazz property assigned to Date will display as shown below:

       (somepackage::MyCustomClass)#0
          clazz = (Date)

Parameters

      // example 1
      var obj:AsyncMessage = new AsyncMessage();
      obj.body = [];
      obj.body.push(new AsyncMessage());
      obj.headers["1"] = { name: "myName", num: 15.3};
      obj.headers["2"] = { name: "myName", num: 15.3};
      obj.headers["10"] = { name: "myName", num: 15.3};
      obj.headers["11"] = { name: "myName", num: 15.3};
      trace(ObjectUtil.toString(obj));
