How to check if layer is time enabled?

Question

I want to be able to loop through the layers in my map, and return the names of layers that are time-enabled.

I understand that I will need to check TimeInfo and this could be enabled on a dynamic, feature or Image service within the map.

I am looking for the tidiest way of doing this, in its own function that can be called and a name of a layer returned. I have been messing about with some If statements within a 'for each' loop, but I keep struggling and making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Any advice/pointers/snippets on how to code this up in Flex would be appreciated.

Not your full answer, but a starting point:

var timeInfo:TimeInfo;

if (layer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer)
{
    timeInfo = (layer as ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer).timeInfo;
}
else if (layer is ArcGISImageServiceLayer)
{
    timeInfo = (layer as ArcGISImageServiceLayer).timeInfo;
}
else if (layer is FeatureLayer)
{
    var feaLayer:FeatureLayer = layer as FeatureLayer;
    if (feaLayer.layerDetails)
    {
        timeInfo = feaLayer.layerDetails.timeInfo;
    }
}
