This is easy to emulate, first you split it in an array with .split("."),
then you loop through the array and using getChildByName you can find your
clip.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] eval gone in AS3,how to get reference to mc via
target name?
The problem is when you get an entire string (the
target name), you just want to get to the reference in
one shot (e.g. "mc1.mc2.mc3"). The collection method
requires parsing before you can get to the reference.
I was hoping Macromedia would provide at least a
similar way to get to it when they retire eval in AS3.
