You can access the properties of any object by name, using square-bracket notation. For example, o.p can be written o["p"]. In this case, the relevant object is 'this', so you want
this["california"] this["california" + "_over"] Gordon Smith Adobe Flex SDK Team From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Chang Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 11:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] String to object reference? 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
