That's too bad--with classes as first-class objects, it's pretty sexy to
be able to do something like
var someClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("com.truviso.SomeClass");
var someObj:ISomeInterface = new someClass();
...
instead of having to lather on the syntax like in Java. It'd be nice to
do more stuff along those lines. Thanks anyway, Alex.

There isn’t much introspection APIs in AS. I’d use
getQualifiedClassName instead of getClassInfo. getClassInfo can be
expensive

Subject: [flexcoders] runtime class type reference?
Is there a way to get a reference to the runtime type of an AS3 object?
Something like Foo.class in Java? I think I can do
var mysteryObjClass:Class =
getDefinitionByName(getClassInfo(mysteryObj).name);
but this strikes me as a rather roundabout way of doing it.
