i'm trying to do something which i normally do in flash actionscript very easily but didn't manage to find out how to do it in java, it is easier to show an example:

my goal is that in the end my VALS array should be like this:

how can i make java to interpret the "ex"+i and read the variable "ex1", "ex2"...

Hello,
i'm trying to do something which i normally do in flash actionscript very easily but didn't manage to find out how to do it in java, it is easier to show an example:

private int ex1=1;
private int ex2=2;
private int ex3=3;
private int ex4=4;
private int ex5=5;

my goal is that in the end my VALS array should be like this:
VALS[1]=1
VALS[2]=2
VALS[3]=3
VALS[4]=4
VALS[5]=5

instead i get this:
VALS[1]=ex1
VALS[2]=ex2
VALS[3]=ex3
VALS[4]=ex4
VALS[5]=ex5

You can't accomplish this in the way you're approaching, due to the 

static nature of Java compilation. Javascript and actionscript are 

very different in this way from Java/C/C++, using dynamic binding at 

runtime. So you'll need to find a different solution (e.g. use an 

array for your ex variables, store values in a hashtable which is 

dynamically resolved at runtime, manually type all the code rather 

than using a for loop, or some other approach).

Actually, it could probably be achieved using the reflection API, but  
it would be untidy and not very efficient. From the fragment of the  
example given, it's not clear to me why it's necessary to do the  
coding this way.

thankx for the enlightment, at least now i now that it's not possible. i allways find out a way to go around this but sometimes i just wish it could be possible.

the example i gave was not a real example, it was just to be simpler for you to help me, so it was easy to go around it...
