Flash Lite nested 'dynamic' movie clip names aka Why must Flash Lite destroy me?

Hi.

I'm having problems defining the properties of a nested movie clip

beaconmap_search_mc.eval(curMapPlace)._alpha = 50; is the offending line

eval(curMapPlace) being the nested movie clip

It says I have to export is as flash 5 for it to work.
Seems ok according to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/articles/as_flashlite_03.html
I have also tried using /: syntax, same problem.

It works when the nested movie clip name is named outright
(for example: beaconmap_search_mc.C1._alpha = 50;)
so I'm obviously doing something horribly wrong there.

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

I've had a few too many glasses of wine and a few too many hours on this assignment to work it out myself. And in general am just an awful programmer.

Try like this:

beaconmap_search_mc[curMapPlace]._alpha = 50;
