Yeah I have since found that you need an instance of the class in the movie to be able to generate one from reflection, and Im waiting for word back on this one. But I will try your RSL way now )

I got around the class requirement issue by sticking the class definitions in a RSL. So stick the F2 class in a RSL and link to it.

Grr looks like you have to have an instance of that object somewhere in the swf for it to work ( If you try this only the F2 will show.

private function iconFunctionKey(item:Object):Class{
if(XML(item).attribute(“functionKey”)){

var obj:F2 = new F2();
var str:String = getQualifiedClassName(obj);
//var fKeyClass:Class =
detDefinitionByName(“com.xsive.controls.menuClasses::F2″) as Class;
var fKeyClass:Class =
getDefinitionByName(“com.xsive.controls.menuClasses.” +
XML(item).attribute(“functionKey”).toString()) as Class;
//var ClassReference:Class =
getDefinitionByName(str) as Class;
//var instance:Object = new ClassReference();
return fKeyClass;

}else{
return null;
}
}

Cool cheers Josh, man you must have the AS3 manual on your night stand ;o)
I have updated the classes , but I was interested to find a :: in the class path. Wow getting close to c++ lol
I got that by
var test:F2 = new F2();
var fKeyString:String = getQualifiedClassName(test);
// traces com.xsive.controls.menuClasses::F2

By the way, that’s in the flash.utils package.

Are you looking for something like this?

var spriteClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(“flash.display.Sprite”);
