How can I get an instance's “memory location” in ActionScript?

Question

FlexBuilder\'s debugger will show you the \"memory location\" (or, I can only assume, something roughly analogous) of any in-scope instance:

Diney Bomfim's solution worked like a charm. I wrapped this in a class named DebugUtils in a function named getObjectMemoryHash.

package
{
    public class DebugUtils
    {
        public static function getObjectMemoryHash(obj:*):String
        {
            var memoryHash:String;

            try
            {
                FakeClass(obj);
            }
            catch (e:Error)
            {
                memoryHash = String(e).replace(/.*([@|\$].*?) to .*$/gi, '$1');
            }

            return memoryHash;
        }
    }
}

internal final class FakeClass { }

Then I could use this function from anywhere and trace it, like so:

trace('myObj', DebugUtils.getObjectMemoryHash(myObj));

Thanks so much for this answer!
