How to import MXML Component in ActionScript

Question

Hello,
I'm having a structure similar to this:
root
   - components
       - subcomponents (MyCustomMXMLComponent)
   - views
In views package I have a piece of AS where I want to instantiate an MXML Component from subcomponents.
In Views:
var data:DisplayObjectContainer=new components.subcomponents['MyCustomMXMLComponent'];
But that throws an error.
I need a syntax similar to the one above because I'm running a for loop and changing data variable to be a new MXML component on each iteration.
Any idea how I can solve this?
Thank you.

OK, so:
var length:int=arrSubcomponents.length;
for(var i:uint=0;i<length;i++)
          //Decide parent
          var parent:IVisualElementContainer;
          if(arrSubcomponents[i].group && arrsUbcomponents[i].group==1){parent=firstGroup;}
    else{parent=secondGroup;}
          //Add to parent
          var childClassName:String='components.subcomponents.'+arrsUbcomponents[i].className;
          trace(childClassName);//So far so good the path is correct, I checked.
          var childClass:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName(childClassName));
          trace(childClass);//It breaks here with the error below
          var child:IVisualElement=new childClass() as IVisualElement;
          trace(child);
          parent.addElement(child);
The error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FirstCustomMXMLComponent is not defined.
