You mean like this?

public function createInstance (className : String) : Object {
    var MyClass : Class = getClassByName(className);
    return new MyClass();
}


Btw.: what I really miss is a method createInstance(args : Array) in
the Class class, so I could easily provide an arbitrary number of
constructor arguments not known until runtime, like this:
    
public function createInstance (className:String, args:Array) : Object {
    var myClass : Class = getClassByName(className);
    return myClass.createInstance(args);
}

Class.createInstance(args:Array) would be the constructor equivalent
of Function.apply(scope:Object, args:Array). If I use Function.apply
after I created an instance the constructor would be called twice
which would be quite dirty.

Consider this as a feature request...  ;)
