Flex动态创建类对象

自ActionScript 3开始，eval函数就被取消了，这样就不能像原来那样利用字符串动态的创建对象了，但利用函数flash.utils.getDefinitionByName仍可以根据类型名称动态地创建类对象实例，下面看一个例子：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" minWidth="955" minHeight="600" applicationComplete="application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event)"> <mx:Script> <!--[CDATA[ import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName; import mx.events.FlexEvent; import test.DynamicObject; protected function application1_applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { var typeRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("test.DynamicObject") as Class; new typeRef(); // new DynamicObject(); } ]]--> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> package test { public dynamic class DynamicObject { public function DynamicObject() { trace("DynamicObject is created!"); } } }

输出结果： 

DynamicObject is created!
DynamicObject is created!

其实这样的输出结果，没什么意外的。接下来将“new DynamicObject();”注释掉继续执行，以下是输出解决：

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable DynamicObject is not defined.

之所以会出错，是因为在Flex编译程序时会自行删除一些未使用的，这时在动态创建对象时就会因缺失对象的类型而创建失败。之前的代码之所以执行成功，是因为类型DynamicObject在代码中显示地被使用，所以类型信息DynamicObject在编译时不会被删除。

其实还有一种方法来保证类型信息的存在，就是利用编译参数，也可以保证程序正常执行：
