The code for the class has to be in a SWF. It can be in the main SWF or loaded via a module later. There is a compiler option (-includes) that allows you to stuff other classes into a SWF without explicitly naming them in your source code.

My current implementation assumes the data comes from an xml file, while specifies the class name of the custom component. In Flex, the getDefinitionByName(String) method allows me to have a class declaration of dynamically create a component. However, a limitation in Flex requires me to have a class declaration of the dynamic class in the component before I can call getDefinitionByName(). Is there any way that I can create a custom component dynamically by name without creating a class declaration?
