While I agree that eval still had a use or two, you can easily write
the function yourself and just add it to your code Library.. almost
as good

The problem is when you get an entire string (the

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.

With the eval being gone in AS3, does anyone know
how to get to the
reference of a movieclip (via the target name
string) without using eval?
I know we can instantiate the class via the
_global namespace but not
positive about mc's.
Using the object collection, like you should've
been doing since eval
was depreciated.
parentclip["clipname"]
Works for nested targets too:
parentclip.subclip["clipname"]
or
parentclip["subclip"]["clipname"]
Like this:
trace(parentclip["subclip"]["clipname"]._x);
or
trace(_root["clip1"]["clip2"]["clip3"]["clip4"]._x)
