Create instance by name: AS3 equivalent to AS2's new ["Blah"]();?

[Aesir]

I need to be able to create instances of classes by class name, from a String.

In AS2, I could do var a:Array = new ["Array"]();

Is there a new way to do this is AS3? Using the entire file path would also be useful.

Thanks!

I could point out the advantages of searching, but you've probably heard it before ;)

Also if you are interested research factory objects.

Solved. Anyone facing the same problem should search:

flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
