You need to roll it on your own. You could split the given path into
its parts and try to evaluate one piece after the other until you come
to the end.
public function eval( scope : Object, path : String ) : Object
{
if( path == null ) return null;
var result : Object = scope;
var parts : Array = path.split('.');
while( result != null && parts.length > 0 )
{
var part : String = parts.shift();
result = result[ part ];
}
return result;
}
Untested code, but hopefully you get the point. Maybe you need to add
some exception handling, when you try to access non existing
properties.
Cheers,
Ralf.
