"this" identifier not working with global vars

[JimRowan]

So normally I would say the "this" identifier is quite powerful, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use it with an instance that has a dot identifier. For instance:

this["myGlobal.myVariable"]++;

does nothing. It doesn't like that "dot" in the middle. Any way around this?

Howdy and Welcome... :)

I can only answer how you can avoid that dot problem, but I am not sure that solves your scope problem if there is any...

You simply use another array notation whenever you see dot... As simple as that... ;)
this["myGlobal"]["myVariable"]++;

First, there're no global variables in AS3, likewise there's no global object where you can put them. From your code it seems that you're trying to access a static class member, so, it should be: myGlobal["myVariableName"]++ where myVariableName is the name of the variable or expression that evaluates to that variable name.

Yup, static class member is what I literally meant, and your code worked like a charm. I appreciate that so much, bud. You have yourself a good weekend!
