Reference object name in variable 1

[eseabrook2008]

First off, I'm using JavaScript from within Adobe LiveCycle Designer (if that makes any difference).

I'm trying to assign a value to an object (txtbox) by referencing the txtbox name which is stored in a variable.

Here's how it works...

math.value= xfa.form.form1.rb.rawValue; --> a radio button is selected assigning a number to the variable math

test.value=("Live" + math.value) --> the word Live and the value in math are concatenated together in the variable test

There are objects on my form with the name Live1, Live2 and Live3. If radiobutton 1 is select, a value is entered into the object called Live1, if rb2 is select, the object called Live2 is filled, etc...

I've tried this...
xfa.form.form1.(varobj.value)=test.value; --> the error says invalid assigment left-hand side

and...
xfa.form.form1.("Live" + math.value).rawvalue = test.value; --> the error says XML filtering predicate operator called on incomplete XFAObject

Ideas?

You may try xfa.resolveNode() method to reference to the textbox, like this.
[tt] xfa.resolveNode("xfa.form.form1."+test.value)[/tt]

Also we have a InDesign dedicated forum to ask, if it is closer to your specific topic.

Thanks tsuji!

I was able to assign a value to the field with:

xfa.resolveNode("xfa.form.form1."+test.value).rawValue = math.value;
