Re: Instance an from an NSString Class name

Thanks!  Now I have:

NSString *class = [NSString stringWithCString:[data bytes] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
Class obstacle = NSClassFromString(class);
id thisObstacle = [[obstacle alloc] initWithImage:[sender draggedImage] andLocation:[sender draggingLocation]];
[m_obstacles addObject:thisObstacle];


And I now have an instance of the class stored in an array. I don't think I have to retain thisObstacle as m_obstacles take ownership.

However, must I retain [sender draggedImage] so the code becomes:

NSString *class = [NSString stringWithCString:[data bytes] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
Class obstacle = NSClassFromString(class);
id thisObstacle = [[obstacle alloc] initWithImage:[[sender draggedImage] retain] andLocation:[sender draggingLocation]];
[m_obstacles addObject:thisObstacle];

Given an NSString which is the name of a class what voodoo do I perform to
create an instance of that class?

Use NSClassFromString().
