But using getDefinitionByName, can you find a class that's inside a loaded swf?
Like in this example, Test is a class inside test.swf but I get an Error #1065:
Variable Test is not defined. But it works fine if I call getDefinitionByName
from within test.swf
public function GetDefinitionByNameExample() {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("test.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeEvent);
loader.load(request);
}
private function completeEvent(e:Event):void{
trace("completeEvent");
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("Test") as Class;
var instance:Object = new ClassReference();
}

There's also this:
var ClassRef:Object = getDefinitionByName("flash.display::Sprite");
var element:Sprite = new ClassRef();
That allows you to really use a string and not a class reference,
which is what I think you want...
But, as with Flash 8, the class reference must really exist in your
swf somewhere, so
you may as well do what elibol suggested...
