String to variable name - in a function?

[itsallgood]

Hi guys,

I've read (and tried) that this works -

var test1:string = "hello"
trace(this["test" + 1])

BUT - when i try this in a function - with a local variable, it wont work

function myFunction():void{
var test1:string = "hello"
trace(this["test" + 1])
}

I think it's because the local variable cannot be found by "this"


Can someone please help how to get the variable name in the function - using a string!

Thankyou!
