how to to get Object's property by it's String name

Hello everyone!

There is a function that receiving value of String = 'propertyName', wich is property name.

and i have an Object item with property of name equals to 'propertyName'.

How do i get item's value of that property?

I know that

ObjectUtil.getClassInfo(item).properties

returns an Array of item's properties, but is it an easier way to get it instead of searching trough Array?

Thanks in advance, Alex.

from your object's parent timeline:

var yourObject:DisplayObject = getChildByName("propertyName");

getChildByName somehow didn' work for me, but of course i don't doubt of it's true.

i just fixed this a minute ago with item[propertyName], excuse me :-)

Thank you very much!
