Hello List;

I'm trying to create an interface where a user's selection in a menu 
component results in other components being created. Right now I'm 
just prototyping, and experimenting with different ways I might do 
this.

One way I've thought of is to use an XML data provider for the list 
where an attribute of each menu entry describes a class that should 
be instantiated when that item is selected.

e.g.

<menu item label="classOne" 
childClass="com.Kodak.Galiano.Test.classOne"/>

I'm running into a problem, though. Because "classOne" is never 
actually used in the source code, "classOne" is not being compiled 
and linked into the application. When I call getDefinitionByName
( "com.Kodak.Galiano.Test.classOne" ), there is an error: Variable 
classOne is not defined.

Is there some trick I can use to force classOne to be compiled and 
linked into the application? Right now my solution is to add a 
private function that defines a local variable of the appropriate 
type.

private function TrickCompiler() : void
{
     var x : classOne;
}

This does the trick, but it sure seems hacky.

Thanks.
Tobias.
