Implementors ClassFactory

The IFactory interface defines the interface that factory classes such as ClassFactory must implement. An object of type IFactory is a "factory object" which Flex uses to generate multiple instances of another class, each with identical properties.

For example, a DataGridColumn has an itemRenderer of type IFactory; it calls itemRenderer.newInstance() to create the cells for a particular column of the DataGrid.
