All you need is a variable declared with that data type. Are you trying to avoid that? You might consider generating a component with those bogus variables declared. Obviously that would take an extra step, but might be better than having to manually edit and recompile.
Try the archives/google for this, it has been discussed very often.

My current implementation assumes the data comes from an xml file, while specifies the class name of the custom component. In Flex, the getDefinitionByName(String) method allows me to have a class declaration of dynamically create a component. However, a limitation in Flex requires me to have a class declaration of the dynamic class in the component before I can call getDefinitionByName(). Is there any way that I can create a custom component dynamically by name without creating a class declaration?
