ActionScript 3 Types The Class type
Example
References to class declarations are typed Class:
var spriteClass:Class = Sprite;
You can use variables typed Class to instantiate instances of that class:
var sprite:Sprite = new spriteClass();
This can be useful for passing an argument of type Class to a function that might create and instance of the provided class:
function create(type:Class, x:int, y:int):* {
var thing:* = new type();
thing.x = x;
thing.y = y;
return thing;
}
var sprite:Sprite = create(Sprite, 100, 100);
