Well Pankaj, If you want to do this as modules, here is a piece of code to load modules:
var info:IModuleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule(modulePath); info.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.ERROR, errorLoadModuleHandler); info.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, displayModule); info.load(); Then in displayModule I have: var module:TitleWindow = event.module.factory.create() as TitleWindow; In my specific case this works fine because every module that I have is a TitleWindow. Here how I make this: [Frame(factoryClass="mx.core.FlexModuleFactory")] public class MyCustomModuleBase extends TitleWindow This metatag "Frame" with this factoryClass is making my class available to manipulate like a module, in my specific case that was VERY helpful that all my modules were subclasses of TitleWindow, it helped me a lot. But you can simply make your class subclass of Module that the way to load/unload it will work fine too. If you have some doubts you can search in the list too.
