ObjectClass

The ObjectClass class represents an object type or a family in the runtime. An object type is a kind of object that appears in the Project Bar, e.g. "Sprite2". Families are groups of object types. Generally object types and families can be treated the same. However in some cases you may need to treat them separately.

The runtime refers to something that is either an object type or a family as an "object class", hence the name ObjectClass.
