```auto

var myArray:Array = ["abc", "xyz"];

//In the library I have a MC with the linkage class 'abc'
//so to generate a new instance of abc i wish to use
addChild(new myArray[0]());

```

Can somebody suggest the correct AS3 code.  
I guess I am running into some type conversion issues as the original value in the array is a String.
