How can I use a value as instance name in AS3?

I want to shorten these lines

var upgradethis = "u3";

if (nev == "u1"){
    mM.u1.count.text=minionCounter[lvl];
}
if (nev == "u2"){
    mM.u2.count.text=minionCounter[lvl];
}

How can I replace the "u1" and "u2" with value of "upgradethis"?

And use in here:

mM.upgradethis's value.count.text=minionCounter[lvl];

(replace the u2 in this code to value of "upgradethis")

As per Question with no answers, but issue solved in the comments (or extended in chat):

Use mM[upgradethis].count.text to solve the issue.

Solution attributed to Cherniv, who posted it here.

Note that you can run into a TypeError #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties if you don't check if the property exists. You can use hasOwnProperty (syntax if(mm.hasOwnProperty(upgradethis))) for this.
