eval

hello everybody
as you can guess for my question, at the moment i'm a little more comfortable with flash, but hope soon it'll change

how do i make something similar to the eval function
i mean i need to make dinamic references to stored data and don't know how
in flash every object is an array of it's parent object and can evaluate data the way parentObject.["someName"+ index] where index can be a number
thanks a lot

i would sugest to make an array for somename, then just use the index as the array index, or if it needs to be arbitary, you van look in to Hashtables or Vectors, but that would be slightly more difficult (and complicated!)

In processing arrays have to have a set size, so you would have to know a limit to the index variable. Vectors on the other hand, can expand as needed. Hashtables are like using associative arrays in flash, where you use, say a string instead of a number as array access
