Flash - concatenating variables

[ryanmm]

Can't figure this one out...



...this works

 
on(release)
{
   var TempMusicName1 = "slammal";
   currentSong++;
   VarVar = "TempMusicName";
   VarVar += currentSong.toString();
   PlayVar = this[VarVar];
   trace(PlayVar); //result slammal
}

...this doesn't

//PHP file "GetSongNames.php"
<?PHP echo 'Name0=slammal&Name1=whatever'; ?>

// actionscript 2
 
 
// frame action to load variables
myVars = new LoadVars(); 
myVars.load("GetSongNames.php"); 
 
 
// button action 
on(release)
{
   currentSong++;
   VarVar = "myVars.Name";
   VarVar += currentSong.toString();
   PlayVar = this[VarVar];
   trace(PlayVar); //result undefined????
}

My only idea is that it doesn't like the "." in "myVars.Name" ???
How can I get around this?

Try:

on(release)
{
   currentSong++;
   VarVar = "Name";
   VarVar += currentSong.toString();
   key = myVars[ VarVar ];
   PlayVar = this[key];
   trace(PlayVar); //result undefined????
}

Nope. Still not working. Comes back as undefined.

Try:

on(release)
{
   currentSong++;
   VarVar = "Name";
   VarVar += currentSong.toString();
   key = myVars[ VarVar ];
   PlayVar = this[key];
   trace(PlayVar); //result undefined????
}

on(release)
{
   currentSong++;
   VarVar = "Name";
   VarVar += currentSong.toString();
   trace(VarVar); //result undefined????
   key = myVars[ VarVar ];
   trace(key); //result undefined????
   PlayVar = this[key];
   trace(PlayVar); //result undefined????
}

then check the earlier lines ...

Everything traced out and checked.

problem is with this line:

key = myVars[ VarVar ];

key comes back as undefined
