A similar strategy to is_int() would be to use the is keyword like this:

var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

trace(mc is MovieClip); // true
trace(mc is String); // false

getQualifiedClassName(obj); returns class name of given object

You can also check if object is for example a movieclip: if (obj is MovieClip) {/* do something */}
