You shouldn't be doing that... it's bad practice. You should be using an Array and looking items up by integer index - rather than using an Object and looking items up by an index-containing name string -- because it's considerably more efficient.
The only time you should look up properties by name is when you don't know at author time what name you'll be looking up.

When I do this["idOfsomethingImLookingfor"] I usually do this if I have to loop something. So: for (i=0; i<10; i++){ var example:Object = this["myComponent" + i] //do some more stuff } I'm trying to do the same thing in .NET. I don't know what it's called though so I'm having a hard time googling it. Thanks, Nate
