Why do you have to use the database field names inside the flex application?

Subject: [flexcoders] Ek! Development grinds to a halt due to stupid 
syntax problem


 My client's database contains hash symbols as part of the field name(s).
 So a line like:


 var selectedGrowerAddress2:String =
 StringUtil.trim(String(event.currentTarget.growerSearchGrid.selectedItem.ADDRESS_LINE#2));

 throws a compiler syntax error: expecting a semicolon before the 2.

 How can I get around this please?

 No, renaming the client's daatabase fields is NOT an option. Their
 main app uses this. My bespoke Flex app runs parallel to it.

Are you able to use the square brackets syntax for accessing  
properties ?
This should work if your data objects are type object or are dynamic (?)

var selectedGrowerAddress2:String =
StringUtil.trim(String 
(event.currentTarget.growerSearchGrid.selectedItem[ADDRESS_LINE#2]));
