variables from variables 1

[ThomasJSmart]

iv got a variable issue

i want this to work:

name = "test"
name2 = name+1

//trace(name2) returns "test1"

now i want to use the content of name2 as the name of a new variable.
????? = "test3"

//trace(test1) should return "test3"

is this possible in flash?
or should i look for another solution?

im trying to make a function in flash that gets passed a name var, this name var is used to make some other vars and objects.

any help apreciated
Thomas

name = "test";
name2 = name+1;
trace(name2); // returns "test1"
/*

????? = "test3"
*/
//trace(test1) should return "test3"

_level0[name+1] = "test3";
//Or...
_level0[name2] = "test3";

trace(test1);
