Get value of a variable

[anjemalo1]

Hello:

In other language I can use this kind of sentences:

function DoSomething (n:uint):void

{

    var Myvalue:Object;

    Myvalue="image"+n+"_mc");

    Myvalue.gotoAndPlay(2);

}

How can achieve this? because the above code does not work.

Many thanks

You have an unmatched closing parenthesis so that will not work, but to use a String to target an object you can use the bracket notation...

this["image"+n+"_mc"].gotoAndPlay(2);

I show it without the variable since that is an unnecessary step, though you can use it if you prefer.
