No worries, the equivalent of
eval("movie_number_" + idNumber);
would be:
this["movie_number_" + idNumber];
To explain, in actionscript 3 (and in Javascript), these two references are
equivalent:
this.someField = true;
this["someField"] = true;
trace("the value is " + anObject.button7);
trace("the value is " + anObject["button7"]);
Notice the fact that it's a string. You can also use numbers (this is how
arrays work), and other objects, but with objects the runtime simply calls
.toString() and then goes ahead with the string, IIRC.
