How to list all methods of an object in ActionScript 3?

How do I get the list of all methods from an object? I know I can get the object class in this way:

var className:String = flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName( myObject );
var objClass:Class = flash.utils.getDefinitionByName( className ) as Class;

It gives me an the class prototype, but and can't do anything with it... In JavaScript I can iterate over the prototype of an object to get its properties and methods.
Is that possible in ActionScript 3? Do you any good source for metaprogramming/reflection over ActionScript 3?

Thanks!

Assuming you're using FP 11+, this is an easier way to list all functions of a class in AS3.

var req = new URLRequest('');
trace(JSON.stringify(req))

It also works for data objects.

Check out the describeType function.

Have you tried using the operators (for ... in...) once you got the Class reference or the Object instance? It should work.
