Hrm... how about:
class com.packageName.MyClass
{
public static function create():MyClass
{
var inst:MyClass = new MyClass();
return inst;
}
public function toString():String
{
return "[MyClass]";
}
}
import com.packageName.MyClass;
trace(MyClass.create());

Subject: [Flashcoders] Re: calling a static method on dynamically
namedclass?
hmm i tried storing a reference to the class in a variable, like
var myClass = com.packageName.MyClass
>
> myClass.create()
and i got this message:
Static members can only be accessed directly through classes
there's gotta be a way to pull this off.
