I want to have a function makeObject(tType:String) which returns an object
of class tType. So makeObject("Array") should return a new Array object. Any
good way to do this? I'm sure it's something simple.
And before you ask, yes, t

I've been hitting some memory problems when using Director's newObject()
function, which creates a new o

just for the record you don't need to use eval:
trace(new ["Array"]() instanceof Array)

This actually works:
function makeObject(tType){
var tVar = eval(tType)
return (new tVar())
}
test = makeObject("Array")
test.push("foo"
This actually works:
function makeObject(tType){
var tVar = eval(tType)
return (new tVar())
}
test = makeObject("Array")
test.push("foo")
test.push("bar")
trace(test[0])
trace(test[1])
trace(test.length)
Output:
foo
bar

Hi Danny,
mx.utils.ClassFinder.findClass("SomeClass") returns the constructor
function for a class.
e.g.
var className:String = 'String';
var cls:Function = mx.utils.ClassFinder.findClass(className);
var object:Object = new cls();
Hope that helps,
Ian

And before you ask, yes, there is a reason why I need to do it this way...
