How do you use variables to access Object attributes?

Suppose I have an Object declared as follows,

var obj:Object = new Object;
obj.Name = "MyName";
obj.Age = "10";

How would i do something like this,

var fieldName:String = "Name";
var fieldAge:String = "Age";
var Name_Age:String = obj.fieldName + " ," + obj.fieldAge;

The code above treats 'fieldName' and 'fieldAge' as attribute name itself. I want to treat the same as a variable, and map the value associated with the variable as the Object attribute name.

+4  A: 

Just use square brackets like this:

var age:String = obj[fieldAge];

Thanks Mico.Worked for me... I was using an array of Objects.. Hence used,objArray[index][fieldName];
