Unfortunately this can't be done in AS3. I asked this before and the
workaround suggested by an Adobe engineer was to use a "well known
initialization method" in your classes and call them after invoking
the constructor. But this is obviously not feasible if you need to
work with existing classes and/or want to create a generic framework
with such capabilities. This is one of the areas where you have more
limitations in AS3 than you used to have in AS2. I really hope AS4
will introduce something like: Class.newInstance(args:Array)
