Hello Tobias,
i recently had the same problem, the workarround i usesd was to create
a class with a variable declaration of all the classes i might create....
eg. public class AllClasses
{
public var tmp1:classOne;
public var tmp2:classTwo;
}
and then in my class where i call getDefinitionByName i created
another varible of this type (eg. public var tmp:AllClasses)...you
dont need to instanciate it...
it´s almost the same but at least is a bit organized...
if anyone have a more elegant solution please notify...
Gus.
