Yes, assuming that myFavoriteClass is actually linked into your app. You can use the getDefinitionByName() to look up a class by name, and the 'new' operator to create an instance of it. I think the code would be

import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;

function instantiateClass(className:String):Object
{
    var myClass:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName(className));
    return new myClass();
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamic Instance of Class & Data Typing

Is there a way to create new instances of a class dynamically at
runtime:

var someClass = "myFavoriteClass";

function instantiateClass(someClass){
var event: [someClass] = new [someClass] ();
}

Thanks,

Kevin
