Well, you could do: this[id] assuming id is a String, but that doesn't guarentee it's the correct path. For example, containers do some crazy nesting using _obj1 or something close to it, but that's the gist of it.
Keep in mind, though, you can treat id's as datatypes: var myRef = vb01; trace(myRef == vb01); // true myRef.width = "50"; etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Krzysztof Szlapinski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 7:33 PM Subject: [flexcoders] string object id to object hi, this is probably a lame question but I just can't find the answer to it: Let's say I've got a string variable that holds the id of an object in my application: ... var id = 'vb01'; ... <mx:VBox id='vb01' > ... How can access this object with only this string id? So the point is how can I have object reference if I only have its id? krzysiek Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
