ActionScript 3: Adding eventListener to a child with For loop

Question

I get error code 1009 when I run this code...

for(var aObj:int = 1; aObj < 50; aObj++){           
    this["elementsSb.netDev"+aObj].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
    this["elementsSb.netDev"+aObj].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragObject);
}

But when I run basically in this way...

elementsSb.netDev1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
elementsSb.netDev1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragObject);

It works. Though, I don't want to make it this way because it's a bit messy, and I have 49 netDev objects.

Any proper way to deal with this guys. Thanks in advance.

this["elementsSb.netDev"+aObj] -> this["elementsSb"]["netDev"+aObj] — fsbmain

@fsbmain, you should add that as an answer, as probably that's the reason of error. — taskinoor

When you use the fences to access to the properties of any objects the dot . withing the string identifier doesn't work.

The correct path must be:

this["elementsSb"]["netDev"+aObj]
