Yeah, I saw your post in my hours of Googling last night. Seems very promising. The idea is to have a database table that stores a list of classes and their properties, and instantiate them at runtime without having to recompile the app - so that if a new class is added to the db my app can use it on the fly.
Would your method of using Modules solve this? It appears so, but I haven't had a chance to try it out. In your post you say: "This setup is very flexible because I can return both instances and classes from the Module." Can you give me an example of how you would return a Class? --- In [email protected], "ag_rcuren" <robert.vancuren...@...> wrote: > > This might help you, its a little something I wrote a little while ago. > > http://flexinonroids.wordpress.com/2009/05/27/flex-3-dynamically-loading-components-at-runtime/ > > > --- In [email protected], "postwick" <paul@> wrote: > > > > If I compile the class as a module, can I then load it in without having to > > statically reference it in my compiled code?
