Dynamically accessing object names in AS3

Question

I'm writing a calendar in AS3. I'm having a problem when I try access the object(days of the month) names. Code below:

var tempDayName:String = "day"+dd.toString();
Calendar.tempDayName.gotoAndStop(2);

So this happens from 1 - 31 for each day of the month. "dd" is and int from 1 - 31. Manually it works:

Calendar.day1.gotoAndStop(2);

But I want to put it in a for loop.

Any help please?

Best Regards Luben

--EDIT--

The same does NOT work for Dynamic text does not work...

NewsMC["News"+1].text = NewsLoadedData[0].articleText;

Does anybody have any idea how to do the following:

NewsMC.News1.text = NewsLoadedData[0].articleText; NewsMC.News2.text = NewsLoadedData[1].articleText;

Cheers Luben

Actionscript object are also arrays

you can test this Calendar["day" + i].gotoAndStop(2);

To clarify: Calendar.day1 is the same as Calendar["day" + 1]
