className: Type: System String
The fully qualified class name of the object to instantiate.

superClass: Type: System Type
The class to which the new object should belong.

defaultValue: Type: System Object
The object to return in case of non-fulfillment.

Type:

Object
An instance of the className or defaultValue if the object could not be instantiated.

Remarks

Checks that the className is a subclass of superClass. If that test fails or the object could not be instantiated, then defaultValue is returned.
