I appreciate Ktu's efforts here; however, Merrill is right. I've written this:
            
            var j:String = "xml.menu.item[whichItems[0]]";
            var k:String = new String();
            var l:int = level;
            while (l--)
            {
                k += ".item[whichItems[" + String(l) + "]]";
            }
            totalItems = (j + k);
            
however this won't work because it's a string. If I were doing this in Python, 
I'd write something like:

totalItems = exec(j + k)

and it would execute the string. Does as3 have something comparable?
TIA,
John
