Unfortunately there isn't any similar functionality in AS3, I asked
the same question a few weeks ago and requested an additional method
in the new Class class:
public function newInstance (constructorArgs:Array) : Object
So that I could write:
function createInstance (className:String, args:Array) : Object {
var MyClass:Class = getClassByName(className);
return MyClass.newInstance(args);
}
But unfortunately the answer from someone from Adobe was: Since it
isn't in the ECMA-4-spec they will not include it.
There are some corner cases like this (and the prevention of private
and protected constructors) where AS 3 actually is a step back from
AS 2...
