You can't do oPage:Page since you don't know it is a Page. If you know the common base class or interface for all possible objects you can use that type or, of course, Object,
If obj.className == "Page" and you want to create one, you use getDefinition or getDefinitionByName and new() Var c:Class = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition(obj.className); oPage = new c(); ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Toby Tremayne Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 7:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] dynamic creation of class Hi all, I have a method which retrieves an actionscript object, and depending on the value of one of the keys, converts it into an actionscript class. The issue I have is I don't know how to instantiate a class whose name I can't hard code - can anyone help me with this? Basically the idea is that if obj.classname = "Page" then I need to write oPage : Page = new Page(); dynamically. Is there any way to do this in actionscript?
