Using a variable value to call an array element

Question

I have a string variable which contains the name of an array. What I\'d like to do is access an element of that array. And write it to another variable. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This should do it:

    var sample = new Array();
    sample[0] = 'one';
    sample[1] = 'two';

    var arrayname = "sample";
    var number = window[arrayname][1];
    alert(number);
