If you do not do anything with an imported class, Flash will not
compile it.
Or, to take it a step further, make a class named ClassRegistry (or some
such), which defines but does not instantiate private static instances
of every class you want to load dynamically. Then just define one
instance of that registry in each class that will do dynamic instantiation.
class ColorRegistry
{
// all extend Color
private static var purple:Purple;
private static var blue:Blue;
private static var green:Green;
}
class ColorLoader
{
private var registry:ColorRegistry;
public function loadColor(className:String):Color
{
ClassLoader.getInstance(className);
}
}
Every class which has an instance defined in ColorRegistry will be
available for instantiation. It's a bit of a hassle when you're
accustomed to stuff like Java's Class.forName(className) method, but it
could be worse.
