[size=2]Hi,  
I’ve got a problem targeting objects is AS2 classes.  
In a class I have a multi-dimensional array with paths to some mc’s in the main timeline (caminho[‘mc’]).  
I need to reference them via method in a class, so i use something like this:

```auto
// **In the class, i have a method like this**
// after have built the caminho['mc'] in the constructor 
 
 
[font=Courier New][color=red]function myMethod[/color] (){[/font]
 
[font=Courier New]trace('1º Caminho MC na Classe: ' + caminho['mc']['mcLogin']);[/font]
 
[font=Courier New]trace('2º ' + eval(caminho['mc']['mcLogin'])._alpha);[/font]
 
[font=Courier New]trace('3º ' + _root.mcLogin._alpha);[/font] 
[font=Courier New]}[/font]
 
// In flash i've this output
[font=Courier New]1º Caminho MC na Classe: _root.mcLogin [color=gray]//the target is correct in array[/color]
2º undefined [color=gray]//can't get the alpha[/color]
3º 100 [color=gray]// directly i can: 100[/color]

```

[/font] **The question is… how can i target objects in the flash movie trought variable with the path to the objects in the class?**

Any help is welcome,

Álvaro
