While I agree that eval still had a use or two, you can easily write
the function yourself and just add it to your code Library.. almost
as good

The problem is when you get an entire string (the
target name), you just want to get to the reference in
one shot (e.g. "mc1.mc2.mc3").

requires parsing before you can get to the reference.

With the eval being gone in AS3, does anyone know how to get to the
reference of a movieclip (via the target name string) without using eval?
I know we can instantiate the class via the _global namespace but not
positive about mc's.
Using the object collection, like you should've been doing

Will getChildByName work with a nested target name (e.g. "_level0.mc1.mc2.mc3")?
No, it gets the child with the particular name in the display object
container. You'll want to split the string apart:
// Not tested - but you get the basic idea
var parts:Array = name.split( '
Will getChildByName work with a nested target name (e.g. "_level0.mc1.mc2.mc3")?

hi,
can you help with this line of code?
eval("_root.something" + i + ".onRollOut") = function()
{
}
well i know this is wrong in flash 6.
Is this possible?
this["_root.something" + i + ".onRollOut") = function()
{
}

eval() is supposed to execute any script you pass to it, it never worked
that way in Flash, and since Flash is a "compact" implementation of
ECMAScript, it doesn't include the "compiler" part which makes eval()
possible.
Basically eval() has no much reason to exist in AS3, but you can still wr
Can you believe it? Is not eval() part of ECMA 4? I am heart-broken...
