Cast a string as an refernce to an object. Please HELP

Hopefully this can be done and it is easy...

I have some object like

var a = new Object();
a.name = "Title";
a.vars = new Array(6);
a.vars[0] = "4";
a.vars[1] = "22";
etc...

for about 18 objects.

If I have a string like
var str = "a";

how can I reference object data, like str.vars[0]???

Thanks....

window[str].vars[0] or window["a"].vars[0]
