I have star.fxg file and i want create SpriteVisualElement class from String "star". I'm trying like this:

var classRef:Class = getDefinitionByName("star") as Class;
myStar = new ClassFactory(classRef).newInstance() as SpriteVisualElement;

but Flex say that Variable star is not defined .

But if i try:

myStar = new star() as SpriteVisualElement;

all working fine.

How to get instance of SpriteVisualElement from String name of fxg?

The answer is to use the fully qualified class name. Instead of star use com.myPackage.mySubPackage.star
