First of all, I just remembered that you actually can bind to a style.
It was probably Flex 1.5 that didn't let you do that....
But anyway, if you have the name of a class, you can get it like this:
getDefinitionByName("mx.Effects.easing." + TheEasingClass);
But you would have to also reference the class somewhere else in your
code, for that to work, otherwise it won't get added to the swf. Given
that - and assuming you are choosing these values from a combobox or
list - you might as well just add references to the classes in the
data provider. e.g:
import mx.effects.easing.*;
easingChooser.dataProvider = [{label:"Cubic", value:Cubic},
,{label:"Quadratic", value:Quadratic},
, .... etc ];
Then bind directly to the currently selected item's value.
