Doh, sorry if my question was a little convoluted and ambiguous. :(

Thanks for tip! In this case, I would like to do something like this:
for each (var s:String in _controls) {
new com.google.maps.controls[s]();
}
Unfortunately, that does not work. :(

Ahh, not in this case.
My document class is calling the "controls" setter like so:
_map.controls = ['PositionControl', 'ZoomControl', 'MapTypeControl',
'ScaleControl', 'OverviewMapControl'];
Where each is a class method of com.google.maps.controls.
Based on your feedback, it is sounding like what I am trying to do is
bad practice. Basically, I was just trying to avoid writing a setter
for each type of map control.

Ah, interesting! You know, I come across this function via Google, but
I was not able to grasp how to properly use it in this situation...
This is the class:
com.google.maps.controls
And this is a method of the class (for example):
ZoomControl()
I have tried a few different variations of the below code with no success:
var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName('com.google.maps');
for each (var s:String in _controls) {
// Test #1:
//var classRef:Class =
getDefinitionByName('com.google.maps.controls.' + s + '()');
//var controls = new classRef();
// Test #2:
new classRef.controls[s]();
}
Nine times out of ten I get this error:
[[
Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly
unrelated type Class.
]]

This sounds interesting! Could you clarify a bit further? I am not
sure where I should do this.
Thanks again everyone! I greatly appreciate the pro assists on this one. :)
Cheers,
