I have 4 arrays named array1 to array4, is there any way to reference them dynamically?  
What I mean is if I have for example  
var currentValue:int = 3;  
and I want to be able to access a specific array depending on that value, is there an easy way to do that in AS3?  
In as2 you could do something along the lines of  
(“array” + currentValue);  
but that doesnt work in AS3  
Any suggestions?  
Thanks
