i have a multidimensional array of an unknown length n. If I know the indices of the element I want in the multidimensional array, is there a way to dynamically construct a method to get at the element?

So for example,

array[1][2]  
array[0][1][2][3][4][5][6]

i need to be able to construct a syntax statement, such that: array[0][1][2]…[n]

something like:  
var indices:Array = [0,1,2,3];  
var arrStatement;  
for(var i = 0; i \< indices.length; i++){  
arrStatement += “[” + indices\* + “]”;  
}
