adding properties to an object [Archive]

I'd like to add properties to an object but the property names are defined in another variable.

in this piece of code I added "someproperty" to the object t:

var t:Object = new Object();
t.someproperty = "aap"
trace(t.someproperty);

what I want to do is this:

var propertyname = "someproperty";
var t:Object = new Object();
t.(propertyname) = "aap" // of course this doesn't work :(
trace(t.someproperty);

So the name of the property is extracted from the value of another variable.

A simple sample for you:

var prop = "sh";
var obj = new Object();
obj[prop] = "Some value";
trace(obj.sh);
