Is there anyway to get a unique string for an object?

Something like this from java? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/580984/how-do-you-get-the-object-reference-of-an-object-in-java-when-tostring-and-ha

You could also include Object.prototype.toString.call(myobj) which will invoke the default Object.toString in the case that myobj is an instance of a class which overrides it. For example:

namespace ns = "foo";
trace(String(ns)); // "foo"
trace(ns.toString()); // "foo"
trace(Object.prototype.toString.call(ns)); // "[object Namespace]"
