Dynamically retrieve library symbols to add on to stage?

The current way to add a library symbol through code is through writing

var test = new lib.librarysymbolname();

this.addChild(test);

or just

this.addChild(new lib.librarysymbolname());

But suppose i have an XML file with a list of the library symbols names

How do i dynamically create the symbols after getting the names?

As you've noted, dot notation doesn't allow use of variables. Bracket notation, however, does.

var test = new lib[variableName]();
