variable path name --> path=_root

[alex8735]

instName="inst1";
path="_root";

Element.prototype.setVisible = function(){
[path+"."+instName]._visible=true;
}

I am trying to build a variable path to an instance. Normally I would do something like this[var]._x, but this doesn't work with _root.

Any ideas?

try this:

eval([path+"."+instName])._visible=true;
