Hi Folks,

I have the following code that populates the variable from an array

var divergent1 = resultarr[0].step\_no ; // This Gets the val “Step1”  
var divergent1 = divergent1.charAt(4); // This gets the value 1

I need to send it to a mc based on the number

_parent[bar\_A\_mc]["a_" + divergent1].gotoAndStop(2);

What is wrong with the above code

\_parent.bar\_A\_mc.a\_1.gotoAndStop(2); // This works but need dynamic

Thanks
