I was building a library of whacky slide show effects that quickly
lost my interest, though it is still impressive to look at.
For the demo I had a form that allowed me to switch the effect class
on the fly by typing it in (so I didn't have to hard code a bunch of
option tags).
Other than that ... I think you're right, it's pretty hard to imagine
that you can know the string but not the class itself.

Maybe if the user gets to choose from a form input...

that represents it.
Of course, sometimes you don't have that option.

new window[classNameString]();
assuming it's at the glogal namespace.

I have a string which represents a name of a class defined using
mootools Class.
I can't figure out how to create an instance based on this string
name.
The following does not work:
new (classNameString)();
Any ideas?
thanks, Jon
