Hi Paul, I'm currently also creating a lightweight IoC container. You can get a ref to the Class by calling getDefinitionByName(). getClassByName() is indeed not there.
About the ObjectFactory, do you mean creating wrappers around the constructor call for every number of arguments? You can always send me code offlist ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you are interested in my progress I can send you some stuff to. regards, Christophe --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Paul DeCoursey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I was looking into this, because I wanted to do some IoC work in Flex. > I found one issue, I don't have any reference for getClassByName adn > cannot compile when trying to use it.
