Problems with eval

programming flash

Why isn’t this working? It is just some simple button code to keep track of what section I have alpha’ed up. When I trace currContents it says undefined.


var currContents:String = "contents";

with(buttons) {
        b2.onRelease = function() {
		if(_root.currContents != "contents2"){
			var button2:Tween  = new Tween(eval(_root.currContents), "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, .4, true);
			_root.currContents = "contents2";
			trace(eval(_root.currContents));
			button2.onMotionFinished = function() {
				var button2:Tween  = new Tween(_root.contents2, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, .4, true);
			};
		}
	};
}
