Convert string into Actionscript Code II

Please… help me with this.

The function above arithmeticParser() by abeall works great BUT,
it doesn’t read variables, if I have a variable name “var1” or an instance name “var1.text”
How can I assign to the array the value instead of the variable string?

actionscript layer1:
<code>
/************
/* String arithmetic parsing function - abeall.com
/* takes a string like “1+(5-2)/7((25+3)2)" and does the arithmetic, respecting parenthesis
/ returns: Number
/************/
function arithmeticParser(str){
if(typeof str!=‘string’)return str;
//clean up
str = str.split(” ").join(’’).split(“Number”).join(’’);

//CORE ALGORITHM///////////////////////////////////
//create nested arithmetic array based on parenthesis
//ex: 1+(5-2)/7((25+3)*2) =&gt; ['1','+',['5','-','2'],'/','7',[['25','+','3'],'*','2']]
var arithArr = [];
var currStr = "";
var arrayScope = [arithArr];
for(var i=0 ; i&lt;str.length ; i++){
    var char = str.charAt(i);
    var currArr = arrayScope[arrayScope.length-1];
    if(char=="("){
        if(currStr!="")combineArray(currArr,currArr.length,arithStrToArray(currStr.split("(").join()));
        currStr = "";
        arrayScope.push(currArr[currArr.length]=new Array());
    }else if(char==")"){
        combineArray(currArr,currArr.length,arithStrToArray(currStr.split(")").join()));
        currStr = "";
        arrayScope.pop();
    }else{
        currStr = currStr + char;
    }
}
combineArray(currArr,currArr.length,arithStrToArray(currStr));
//dump(arithArr);
str = arrayArithmetic(arithArr);
return str;
    
//FUNCTIONS////////////////////////////////////////
//splices all elements in the Array 'insertArr' into the Array 'ar' at 'index'
function combineArray(ar,index,insertArr){
    for(var i in insertArr){
        ar.splice(index,0,insertArr*);
    }
}

//performs arithmetic() to 3D arrays from deepest array to the top array
function arrayArithmetic(ar){
    for(var i in ar){
        if(typeof ar*=='object'){
            ar* = arrayArithmetic(ar*);
        }
    }
    return arithmetic(ar);
}
    
//converts arithmetic string to array 
//ex: 7+2/8-12 =&gt; ['7','+','2','/','8','-','12']
function arithStrToArray(arithStr){
    var ar = [];
    var currStr = "";
    for(var i=0 ; i&lt;arithStr.length ; i++){
        var char = arithStr.charAt(i);
        if(char=="/" || char=="*" || char=="-" || char=="+"){
            if(currStr!="")ar.push(currStr);
            ar.push(char);
            currStr = "";
        }else{
            currStr = currStr+String(char);
        }
    }
    if(currStr!="")ar.push(currStr);
    return ar;
}

//performs the four basic arithmetic operations to arithmetic formatted array
function arithmetic(ar){
    for(var i=0 ; i&lt;ar.length ; i++){
        if(ar*=="/"){
            var n = Number(ar[i-1]) / Number(ar[i+1]); //perform operation
            ar.splice(i-1,3,n); //splice out the number,operation,number subarray and replace with the answer number
            i=0; //since the array has been modified(spliced) the operation must start over to get all operations
        }
    }
    for(var i=0 ; i&lt;ar.length ; i++){
        if(ar*=="*"){
            var n = Number(ar[i-1]) * Number(ar[i+1]);
            ar.splice(i-1,3,n);
            i=0;
        }
    }
    for(var i=0 ; i&lt;ar.length ; i++){
        if(ar*=="-"){
            var n = Number(ar[i-1]) - Number(ar[i+1]);
            ar.splice(i-1,3,n);
            i=0;
        }
    }
    for(var i=0 ; i&lt;ar.length ; i++){

actionscript layer2: (usage)
<code>
myString = “(var1 * 2) + 1000”;
result.text= arithmeticParser(myString);
