I am trying to read an object's properties from an array. My
application has five panels on the main screen and it needs to have a
floating button on the application that will move from panel to panel.
I want the button to move by reading an array.

The array looks something like this:

        public var demo: array [
        {panelID: "panel1", offsetX: "20", offsetY: "10"},
        {panelID: "panel2", offsetX: "45", offsetY: "30"},
        …
        ];

The simplified code snippet for x coordinate looks like this:

      …
        myButton.x = {demo[0].panelID.x} + demo[0].offsetX;
        …       
        myButton.x = {demo[1].panelID.x} + demo[1].offsetX;
      …

I want to use the upper left corner of each panel as the main
coordinate, and then offset the button using offsetX and offsetY. I am
having trouble finding the correct approach for reading object
properties, from an array, and then using the properties to make the
button move. I do not think I need an array of objects, but a method
to convert a string into something that can be recognized as an ID
name and property. I think I have tried about 20 combinations of the
{demo[0].panelID.x}. Thanks ahead of time.
