[haXe] Using Type.typeof

[John Eriksson]

Well actually:

if(Type.typeof(h) == TObject){

and not

if(Std.typeof(h) == TObject){

also note that you don't need ValueType.TObject...

You must also do import Type;

anyway, thank you for your help on this. This looks alot better than that
string conversion I was doing.
