  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){

         var myObject:* = createObject("Array");
         myObject.push(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
        
         trace(myObject); //Displays: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    }
    function createObject(type:String):* {
         switch (type) {
             case "Boolean": return new Boolean ();
             case "Number": return new Number ();
             case "String": return new String ();
             case "Array": return new Array ();
             default: trace("Unknown type"); return null;
