Yes, at runtime, but not at compile-time and not in the way that you've specified. The closest to what you're describing, I think, is the concept of a runtime shared library - a bunch of code that you only load when the app is actually running (and you can potentially choose at runtime which code to load). The equivalent to a Windows DLL. Essentially you'd compile all the 'loaded at runtime' classes into a seperate .swf file. This becomes your runtime shared library. The host .swf - the file that makes use of these classes - has to be compiled in such a way that it doesn't actually include the classes, but still compiles correctly. There are a couple of ways to achieve this - first is to use intrinsics (Google the 'intrinsic' keyword or look it up on the Adobe site), the second (and my preferred way) is to use interfaces (Look up the 'interface' keyword). I don't immediately have time to write a more in-depth explanation, but I hope that points you in the right direction...
