Aha! The solution is to have the global object on the stage AS code:
var global = this;
Simple enough, but I was always trying to do it within an as file:
package {
var global = this;
class MyClass() { }
}
Which will cause a compile error for referencing "this" outside of a class.
Thanks guys.

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?

That however requires putting those variables into the global object
(which
I don't have a problem with), but I don't know the names of these
variables... that's why I need dynamic variable references.
