I have seen and used the term "bracket notation". Don't know how common it is.
Kevin, why do you allege "bad practice"? What are you referring to for that matter?

That's called bad practice. The lookup method you're referring to is called an associative array or dictionary. !k ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nate Pearson Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 6:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] What's this Called? 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
