Question

Is it possible to create an object from a class with a dynamic name? I have the name of the class in a string, but I want to create an instance of that class.

Answer 1

Yes you can:

var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("YourClassIncludingPackage") as Class;
var newMc:YourClass = new classRef() as YourClass;
addChild(newMc);
