</div>

function stick(btnname) {  
if (current\_btn != btnname) {  
eval(current\_btn).gotoAndPlay(“out”);  
}  
current\_btn = btnname;  
eval(current\_btn).gotoAndStop(“down”);  
}

I belive this would have worked in AS2, but I want to use AS3 and just wonder if there is anything similar to eval?
