Thanks, Zimmen and Ian, that's helpful. I'll probably go with Ian's
solution, which seems a bit more robust (I've been caught out before by
clever tricks using eval()...)

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] create an object of type defined with a string
This actually works:
function makeObject(tType){
var tVar = eval(tType)
return (new tVar())
}
test = makeObject("Array")
test.push("foo")
test.push("bar")
trace(test[0])
trace(test[1])
trace(test.length)
Output:
foo
bar

I want to have a function makeObject(tType:String) which returns an
object
of class tType. So makeObject("Array") should return a new Array object.
Any
good way to do this? I'm sure it's something simple.
And before you ask, yes, there is a reason why I need to do it this
way...
