Your class isn't being linked in, because it isn't referenced.
Your options are:
(a) force it to be linked in, either with an explicit reference, or via
a compiler flag.
(b) make sure that the code below is in a SWF is loaded into (or as a
child of) an ApplicationDomain containing your class.
(c) dynamically load another SWF that contains the definition, and use
ApplicationDomain.getDefinition.

Subject: [flexcoders] Instantiating Class Dynamically
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to instantiate a class dynamically via the data from
an
external XML file. I get the class name as a String in Flex code
and
then I have applied the below code to instantiate that string as
a
class. Here "MyClass" is a custom class inside the "com.apps"
package. I have also imported the above class with fully
qualified
name.
I have a code written as below:
try {
var dynamicClass: String = "com.apps.MyClass";
var classRef:Class = flash.utils. getDefinitionByN
ame(dynamicClass )
as Class;
var myClass:* = new classRef();
}
catch(e:ReferenceEr ror) {
tracer.traceMe( e.errorID + " "+e.message);
}
This code works perfectly with the standard Flex classes like
"flash.display. MovieClip" but gives me Reference error (code
1065)
when I use "com.apps.MyClass" for the dynamicClass statement
above.
Anything specific needed to be done with the custom class, to
make it
accessible, the way MovieClip class is accessed. Any ideas of
how do
i go about this?
Amol.
