Also, when using ActionScript, you will want to use "is" for interfaces, where "instanceof" does not work. Bernd Paradies points out in his blog<http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/2012/10/21/kicking-typescipts-tires/>that a real drawback of TypeScript is that there is no runtime type information about interfaces. The Jangaroo Compiler + Runtime implement the "is" and "as" operators to work with interfaces seamlessly and efficiently! Greetings, -Frank-
