Variable variables in actionscript
Author: Mirza Hatipovic

Actionscript

With eval() you can achieve similar results in AS.

//my_var has a string value of “mirza”
my_var = “mirza”;
//allocate a variable variable of the variable my_var
mirza = 1;
//has a value of 1
trace(eval(my_var));

Well, I know that this looks very strange. But I use this method in loops to dynamically create variables like pic1, pic2, pic3.

for(i = 1; i<=5; i++){
 //current variable
 curr_var = eval(pic + '' + i);
 //handle variable…pic1, pic1, etc
}

Hope you’ll find it usefull.
