Most of the time, what I've seen is setting a temporary var to either an instance of the class, or in the case of a static class, setting it to a reference to the class.
var myClass:MyClass = new com.client.project.package.MyClass(); or var myClass:MyClass = com.client.project.package.MyClass; I have to wonder, though, if there's not a better way to accomplish what you're trying to achieve. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
