Lets back up a bit here. As I am understanding, you want to pop-up a component based on a string value containing the name of the class(component)? Is that correct?
If so, then you will probably need to use flash.utils.getDefinitionByNam() to instantiate your popup component, then use addPopUp() to add it to the childlist of its parent. Some issues include linking the class into application. Often this is done using a typed variable..This means you will have to know all of the classes at compile time. Casting the instantiated class to a type uasble by popUpmanager.
