getDefinitionByName Problem

programming flash
1

Ok so I have this:

trace('e.props.weapon =', e.props.weapon);
var wClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(e.props.weapon) as Class;
var w:Object = new wClass();

Which outputs this:

e.props.weapon = Beretta92
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Beretta92 is not defined.
	at global/flash.utils::getDefinitionByName()
	at objects.pickups::WeaponPickup/::propsHandler()
	at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
	at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
	at objects::WorldObject/loadProps()

	at flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
	at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
	at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()

Beretta92 is a class, it does exist. And I even tried making a reference to it to make sure it is exported:

private static const b92:Beretta92 = null;

But all to no avail. Any ideas? :slight_smile:
