You mean like this? public function createInstance (className : String) : Object { var MyClass : Class = getClassByName(className); return new MyClass(); } Btw.: what I really miss is a method createInstance(args : Array) in the Class class, so I could easily provide an arbitrary number of constructor arguments not known until runtime, like this: public function createInstance (className:String, args:Array) : Object { var myClass : Class = getClassByName(className); return myClass.createInstance(args); } Class.createInstance(args:Array) would be the constructor equivalent of Function.apply(scope:Object, args:Array). If I use Function.apply after I created an instance the constructor would be called twice which would be quite dirty. Consider this as a feature request... ;) Jens www.oregano-server.org -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
