We're not going to have that functionality in this version of AS3.
You'll need to do something different. Like simulate by creating the
object with a no-arg constructor and then having a well-known function
like "initArgs" which you could call via Function.apply.
public function createInstance (className:String, args:Array) : Object {
var myClass : Class = getClassByName(className);
var inst : Object = new myClass();
inst.initArgs.apply(inst, args);
return inst;
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How to dynamically invoke AS3 class
constructor ?
This code is similar to "var a:* = new A(1,2,3);" in my original
post. Arguments count is statically specified at compile time.
But I am looking for the way to pass different number of arguments
to constructor at runtime. Arguments type and count are unknown at
compilation time, that is why someArgs:Array used.
Flex 1.5/AS2 implements class constructor as AS2 Function object and
we were able to call it like Function.apply(context, args). Now we
are looking for something similar in AS3...
