GetClassName returns a name, not a string, and a name does not have a member function called 'indexOf'. You have to explicitly cast it to a string first, otherwise the function cannot be found.

I think getclassname() returns already a string, so...

No, it returns a name. Internally that is a lightweight index into a case insensitive string table. It will be implicitly converted into a string when assigned to one - but since it is a different type it just cannot be used as invoker of a string method.
