http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/core/ClassFactory.html

 

It lets your application automatically create instances (with properties
configured too!) without much input needed from you.  Essentially, you
configure the factory with your class, and then set up some properties
to apply to every instance of that class.  When you call the
myClassFactory.newInstance() method, the Factory automatically creates
an instance of the object, and injects the properties you set up into
the new object.

 

So if you're ever creating lots of objects of the same type and details
over and over again... think ClassFactory.  ItemRenderers are Adobe's
big example of this.

Subject: [flexcoders] What is a classfactory and why would I use one?

 

This may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find this in any
documentation.

What is a classfactory and why would I want to use one? What can I do
with a classfactory?

Any links to documentation/tutorials?
