I load many classes in at runtime from external SWF’s, accessing those classes is pretty simple, like so -

var currentDomain:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;  
var modelClass:Class = currentDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;  
var model:Model3D = new modelClass();

However I’ve never tried to access static functions from a runtime class, and now I need to. How is it done? It seems like something that should be simple, but I haven’t worked it out yet.

Cheers.
