variable referencing

[funkydonkey2000]

I was just wondering if it is possible to evaluate a string into a object/variable name such as in javascript and flash actionscript with eval().

etc in actionscript:

var objectname = "car";

// the next line will call the car's method "speed()";
// same as writing "car.speed()";

eval(objectname).speed();

Asp do has a eval() function but it doesn't seem to do that. Just wondering if anybody knows a way of doing this in asp?

Thanks
