checking component types

[lastingforhours]

is it possible for me to check what type of component a component is with actionscript?

for instance, i have a good sized form thats split into 5 smaller forms thats using radio buttons, check boxes, and text inputs.

so lets say i only know the name of a given component on the stage. can i check with actionscript whether it is a radio button, checkbox, or text input component? i wont go into a lot of detail on why im wanting to do it that way, but i was hoping thats not a hard thing to accomplish.
