If the goal is to generate different canvas children based on the data, a custom renderer should do that in commitProperties. How you determine which children to create is up to you, but you wouldn't do this by altering class definitions at runtime.

Alex already said that you can't add any "new parts" into a ClassFactory. All you can do is set properties on it. It would be an intriguing feature, so you might want to make a feature request. For now, this method will only work to create instances of a class that already does what you want. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm? <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?> event=showdetails&postId=2081&productId=2&loc=en_US http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm? <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?> event=showdetails&postId=5762&productId=2&loc=en_US http://www.paulofierro.com/archives/520/ <http://www.paulofierro.com/archives/520/> HTH; Amy
