[Xerte] Accessing associative arrays via variable?

[Dave Burnett]

help_defs = new Object();
helps_defs.Atomic = "Roosters are atomic";
debug(helps_defs.Atomic); // gives me "Roosters are atomic"

Can I sub a variable into the place of .Atomic in that last statement?

Sort of like in AW, to call a value from a property list using a variable for the property name I'd use:

Trace(my_prop_list[Symbol("a"^some_variable)])
