Suppose you have a class in which you have declared
public var foo:int;
public var bar:int;
and that in a method you have two arrays
var names:Array = [ "foo", "bar" ];
var values:Array = [ 1, 2 ];
Then the code
var n:int = names.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
{
this[names[i]] = values[i];
}
will set foo to 1 and bar to 2. This works because you can access foo by name
as this["foo"].
Does that help?

This is very dangerous, IMO. It opens you up for getting things "misaligned"
and then you have the wrong value in the wrong variable.
Why aren't you storing the variable name AND the value in the same array?
