String to variable name - in a function?

[itsallgood]

Thanks guys,

cancerinform -- that worked perfect. cheers!


Can i just update this question -- is there anyway to store the paths in strings too?

For example:

var myEG:String = 'movieclipName.textboxName';

// then do something like the following:

this[myEG].text = "hello!";

Thanks again for the help
