FLASH: Return a string of a variable name????

[jmerrill]

How do I return the string of a variable name?


For example, if I do this:


var1 = "apple"

var2 = var1


var1 returns "apple" and of course var2 now returns "apple" also.   Fine.


But how do I get the name of the "var1" variable as a string, so that

returning var2 gives me the string "var1" instead of "apple"???  I want to

dynamically reference variables in this way.  I'm using Flash5.  Thanks

again.
