No, you don't need to know the name of the variable. "myVar" isn't the name of the variable, it's a variable that holds the name of the variable.
So: function getVar(myVar) { return _globla[myVar]; } getVar("variableDelta"); You need to know the variable name at some point to create it and to address it. That is, your class doesn't need to know, but at some point in code a variable name is known, whether it's generated with a string concatenation or passed from another SWF/app/browser/etc. Does that address your situation? If not, maybe you could explain how you want to use it?
