Asfunction and string question

1

I’m trying to pass 2 parameters from asfunction, so I do a split (array) method, the result i have param0 and param1

I trace param1 and it gives me this result (param1 contains a path to an object):

trace(param1) // output: _level0.room_mc.cube_0

The problem is when I try to trace the _x position of that object, I got an Undefined.

trace(param1._x) // output: UNDEFINED

My question now is… is param1 a string? do I have to conver it into a variable? If not, is there any work around?

THANKS ALOT!

This is my code as a whole:


<a href='asfunction:_root.receipt,"+pathObj+"|"+theObj+"'>"+theObj+"</a>

function receipt(param) {
	argument_array = new Array();
	argument_array = param.split("|");
	for (i=0; i<argument_array.length; i++) {
		param = argument_array;
		this['param'+i] = param*;
	}
	trace(param1); // output: _level0.room_mc.cube_0
        trace(param1._x);  //output: UNDEFINED
}

All of the parameters passed are of type String:

theObj = mc;
pathObj = mc;
txt.htmlText = "<a href='asfunction:receipt," + pathObj + "|" + theObj + "'>" + theObj + "</a>";
function receipt(param) {
 argument_array = param.split("|");
 for (i = 0; i < argument_array.length; i++) {
  this['param' + i] = argument_array*;
 }
 trace(param1);
 trace(eval(param1)._x);
}
