Take a look at this, basically the closest thing to what you're referring to in
Java. http://www.osflash.org/sexie

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Dynamic class creation-thoughts?
I looked into Java Virtual Machine "Class" code, it's not possible to load a
class dynamically in flash. at least you need to have somehow the main package
loaded in flash!
after all it is ActionScript and it still needs lots of improvements in
language syntax

dynamically refrencing a *loaded* class not dynamically creating a class! if
the class is not yet loaded it returns null.
and of course dynamically refrencing a class gives you nothing, I was wondering
if it is possible to load a class dynamically?
in Java there's a forName method on "Class" class that loads a class with given
string and that's what we use with applications with dozens of classes, because
it can take a long time for a big application to load all classes
automatically, frustrating the user. so we can give users of our program the
illusion of a faster start with the this trick: the class containing the main
method does not explicitly refer to other classes. first display a splash
screen. Then manually force the loading of other classes by calling
Class.forName
anybody? any suggestions for loading a class dynamically?

dynamic class
instantiation? I've always been under the impression( and hence, been
told) that one should avoid it at all costs.
Thoughts? Discussion? Benefits? Would it be better to implement a factory
type pattern to create the new instances of classes?
