evaluation variables as object names

I need to evaluate a variable as an objects name and then retrieve the values of particular names within the object.

The object:

var priority = [{dSubDue:'1,D', dMS2date:"1.5,'M'", dMS3date:'3,M',dMS4date:'30,D',dMS5date:'1,M',dNotErFac:'2,W',dDOverview:'N/A',dPreACMResp:'2,W',dACMdate:'2,W',dMS6date:'2,W',dMS7date:'1,M',dM86date:'1.5M'}];

where the name of the object is priority.

When another variable, cellval, is set to the same name as the object "priority" I need to access the key values in actual priority object by using the following cellval[0]['dMS2date'].

If I use eval(cellval[0]['dMS2date']) it returns the correct values but if possible I'd prefer not to use eval.

Any Ideas?
