Using dynamic variables names

1

I have a list of variables loaded from a MySQL database. I can access them from my nested MC if I type in the exact variable name like this:


on (press) {
    trace ("word3 = " + _parent.word3);  // good!!
}

But I can’t access them using dynamic variables. I’ve included my code showing how I’ve tried to access them along with their respective responses.



on (press) {
    _global.i = i++;
    trace("_global.i = "+i++);
    //trace("word3 = "+_parent.word+i);      // undefined
    //trace("word3 = "+_parent["word"+i]);  // no
    //_parent.answer = _root["word"+i];      // literal string  =[
    //_parent.answer = eval("word"+i);        // undefined
    // _parent.answer = eval(word+i);         // NaN
    //trace("answer = "+(eval("word"+i)));    // LOCK UP!

    trace(_parent.answer);

    this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Thanks in advance.
