[flexcoders] String to object reference?

[Mike Chang]

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to change a string to an object name.
For example, I pass a string "california", and there's an object named
california. I would like to reference the california object.

For example, this is my code right now:
                                case "california":
                                                                up = california;
                                                                over = 
california_over;
                                                                break;

I would like to have
                         up = californiaString > to object;
                         over = californiaString + "_over" > to object.

Thanks,
Mike
