[BNM] Converting string to variable name (Flash)

[Sebastian von Bischopink]

Hi BNM,

another little Flash problem that i can't seem to solve.

Okay, in this example I have 3 variables (comment1..3). I randomly  
generate a number between 1 and 3, and add it to the string  
'comment'. So when i trace it i get 'comment1..3'. So far so good,  
but when i assign this variable 'commenttext' to the textfield it  
displays 'comment1..3' rather then the value of the variable 'comment1'.

So, i guess that i somehow have to "convert" the text string so it is  
read as a variable name instead. Hope that makes sense ;)
Source code below:

		comment1 = "1 - text for 1st comment.";
		comment2 = "2 - text for 2nd comment.";	
		comment3 = "3 - text for 3rd comment.";	
		
		i = Math.floor(Math.random()*3+1);
		commenttext = "comment" + i;
		trace(commenttext);
		_root.quote1.text = commenttext;
	
i greatly appreciate any help,

Seb
