I’m having a string concatenate problem. As3 got rid of the eval command so does anyone know how to do something like this in AS3.

var string1:String =“ObjectA” ;  
var string2:String =“x” ; //any property

function getMyNumber(string1:String,string2:String){  
//get the value from concatenated strings such as num = myCircle.x  
// or num=myCircle.width

```
var num:Number= string1 + "." + string2 ;

```

return num;  
}
