extending type()

I just uploaded my new module, _extendType. With _extendType you can detect the type of a corona object.

This is great! Should be by default in Corona imho.

thx

@jstrahan I’m getting a 404 on that link.

sorry had to take it down. found out you couldn’t add event listeners to objects when module was run. got a few ideas to try to get around it so hopefully I’ll have it back up soon

Could you elaborate a bit on the issue? Maybe I can help.

You can send it to me and I’ll take a look. This would definitely be useful.

sure
give me your email and I’ll send to you tonite when I get home with more detail and example

well i decided to junk  the code i borrowed that was suppose to let you make changes to type() and created my own. as far as i can tell it all works. still have a few more test to run but i think it works good enough to put the page back up.
