Can I declare a variable with another variable

[2slow]

Here is what I want to do. Within a function that has been passed two arguments I want to declare a sound object variable as one of those arguments. So far no go.

Here is the code
function DeclareSound(Sound_ID:String, mc:String):Void {
trace(Sound_ID);
var Sound_ID:Sound = new Sound(mc);
Sound_ID.attachSound("Blues Guitar");
sSound_ID.start(0,1000);
}

Something like

this[Sound_ID] = new Sound(mc);

[xxneon]

function DeclareSound(Sound_ID:String, mc:String):Void {
trace(Sound_ID);
var s:Sound = _root[Sound_ID] = new Sound(mc);
s.attachSound("Blues Guitar");
s.start(0,1000);
}

this creates a variable at root .. and assigns it to a variable that is declared into the function so 's' in effect is '_root[Sound_ID]'.. i mainly did this to save me from typing '_root[Sound_ID] three times.. just looks cleaner..

but then now you have a sound variable at the _root level that you can access at any time after the the function creates the sound object..

Thank you
This will save hours of cut and paste.
