[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20081112-ptw-E Summary: Add a simple evaluator to the swf8/9 debugger

[André Bargull]

The RegExp fails for the bracket-notation, e.g. `canvas['subviews']`.

var re = new 
RegExp('^([$_A-Za-z][$\\w]*)((\\.[$_A-Za-z][$\\w]*)|(\\[\\d+\\]))*$');
Debug.write(re.test("canvas['subviews']"))
