Find the value of a variable when variable name is a string

[Unicron]

Hey folks. I have searched high and low for the answer to what seems to be a simple problem. Perhaps I don't know how to describe the title properly so if this has been dealt with before, please forgive me.

I would be glad to take an answer for this in Actionscript, Javascript, or PHP. (because I have run into the problem in all 3 scripting langs.)

Color1 = "red"
Color2 = "blue"
Color3 = "green"

function showColor(num) {
.... help here
}

The function passes a number only. I want to use showColor(1) to print "red" but can't figure it out.

The only things I can ever get are undefined variables or the word "Color1".

var col:string;

function showColor(num) {
if (num==1)
{col="red";}
else
if (mun==2)
{col="blue";}
else
{col="green";}
trace(col);
}
