Hi Amol,
Try creating an instance of the class before you load your XML,
something like:
var aux : MyClass;
and then you do:
try {
var dynamicClass: String = "com.apps.MyClass";
var classRef:Class = flash.utils. getDefinitionByN ame(dynamicClass
as Class;
var myClass:* = new classRef();
}
catch(e:ReferenceEr ror) {
tracer.traceMe( e.errorID + " "+e.message);
}
What I did was created a class with all my classes that could be
instanciated dynamically, something like:
public class classes{
var aux : MyClass;
...
}
and then created a variable of this class whenever a needed to
instance dynamically any of this classes
var Classes : classes;
try {
var dynamicClass: String = "com.apps.MyClass";
var classRef:Class = flash.utils. getDefinitionByN ame(dynamicClass
as Class;
var myClass:* = new classRef();
}
catch(e:ReferenceEr ror) {
tracer.traceMe( e.errorID + " "+e.message);
}
Hope this helps!
