Shorten the length of "e.target.name"?

Is there an easy way to shorten the length of a target name? As you can see in the code below I have added “_snd” to “e.target.name”.

Let’s say “e.target.name” equals “square_1” so the code below returns “square_1_snd”, when the square is clicked on.

What I want to know is how do I get “square_snd” to return?

I would think if you can do (e.target.name + “_snd”) then you could do (e.target.name - “_1” + “_snd”), to get just (square_snd), but it doesn’t work.


var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName(e.target.name + "_snd") as Class;
	var mySound = new ClassReference();
	mySound();
