this[stringValue + Amt] if you're trying to do it within the same class.

 That would be:

 where obj is the object that holds the property.

I think you can do this directly using getChildByName, or you can
directly reference the parent object as Manish mentioned.

You might also want to look into using this.hasOwnProperty(stringValue +
Amt) to make certain what you're looking for actually exists in the
object in the first place.

Thanks all :)

Isn't that for an XML object?

Well, it's a method of the Object class, so I'd hazard to guess it will work 
with everything you create.
