  17. // This basically creates an instance of the String class, from the 
  18. // class name 'String'. getDefinitionByName takes the entire class 
  19. // path, so if you wanted to create an instance of MovieClip, you would 
  20. // provide the entire path:
  21. // var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("flash.display.MovieClip") as Class;
