how to best link a class to a behavior action

How can I best link a class to a behavior?


So say I want a btn (button) to dismount objectA from objectB. However there are lots of object A types, so objectA1, thru objectA12. I figure if I just use a class name so when btn pressed (onMouseUp), this dismounts objectA from objectB. bust since objectA could be objectA1-objectA12, I need my btn to just see the class. This is being done in a behavior.

    would it be this?


    if (%dstObject.class $= "paddleClass")


    where %dstObject could be %this.

    where I am most confused is here, as I must find if an object from the class "starsStarClass" is mounted to object Star.

    if(%this.class $= "starsStarClass")
	{
///this is where i am confused as what is %this here?
///I need it to point to any object in this starStar class
///so does this point to the class because of the if statment above?
		if(%this.getIsMounted())
		{
			%this.owner.setUseMouseEvents(true);
		}
	}
