Heylo!

Does anyone know how to put a variable string as a class name?  
I’m loading certain variables from a XML file as follows:

temp\_template = db\_vars.childNodes[1].childNodes\*.childNodes[2].childNodes[0];

db\_vars is a XML variable.  
Now I’d like to declare ‘template’ as a class object. The name of the class is in ‘temp\_template’.

var template:temp\_template;

won’t work… anyone any idea how to handle this? thanks!
