[haXe] dynamic object instantiation

[Joshua Kifer]

Hi all,

I'm new to this list, and am excited to see what kind of activity is  
happening in the Haxe community.  I've got a question for yall.

A technique I'm used  to using in Javascript is to get a class  
reference through eval then instantiating it.  As I do not yet  
understand the typing very well in Haxe yet, I'd like to know the  
best way to do this.  Here's how I would do it in javascript.


var cls = eval('SomeClass');
var obj = cls(arg);


Here's my current Haxe hack to get this to work:

var obj = eval('new SomeClass()');

However, I cannot pass arguments in the eval, as they seem to lose  
scope by the time the actual eval is called, hence this doesn't work:

var arg = 'foo';
var obj = eval('new SomeClass(arg)');

Any suggestions on how I can do this so I can pass an arg to the  
constructor?
