Object Initialization Problem

Hi all,

I initialize the “point” object like:

point = {x:‘209’, y:‘270’};
trace(point.x);

this is working fine,

But I have to initialize the “point” object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties like:

str = “{x:‘209’, y:‘270’}”;
point = {}
point = str;

I know this is not working.

Is there any method to initialize the object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties (without parsing the text) ? Thanks…
