Well, that's the crux of my problem, Henrik. How do I get around writing code
that adds just the right number of "item units" without doing it as a string to
evaluate or writing a switch statement that's obviously limited? Again, here's
my pseudo-code:
var j:String = "xml.menu.item[whichItems[0]]";
var k:String = new String();
var l:int = level; // I don't know this value in advance: it's
passed to the class
while (l--)
{
k += ".item[whichItems[" + String(l) + "]]";
}
totalItems = eval(j + k); // "eval()" doesn't work in AS3, concept
from Python
TIA,
John
