Oh, if it is a getter then just use ClassRef[getter] as in:

Nothing out of the ordinary. I get the fully qualified class name, and the static getter to be executed - at run time via XML. I use the class name to create a Class instance, and then I tried ClassRef[getter](); Nothing. When I debug it, the debugger doesn't event break on the breakpoint in the getter.

I am using getDefinitionByName from flash.utils to get a class definition / instance from a string: var ClassRef:Class = getDefinitionByName(className) as Class; That works great, I can create an instance if I want. Problem is, I need to call a static function on that ClassRef class, and I'll know the function name only at runtime from XML. Any idea on how to do this?
