Accessing inner value in javascript object

I have a Javascript object such as:

myObj = { name: { Value1: "a", Value2: "b" }}

how do I access Value1 ?

I can't use name, i.e. myObj.name because it is some abstract class and name is different per input.
I do know the name but it is held in another variable that I receive from the server

so my current input is:

name = "someName"

and

myObj = { name: { Value1: "a", Value2: "b" }}

and I need to retrieve "a"

any suggestions ?

`myObj.name.Value1` – VLAZ Apr 23 '20 at 11:10
I can't use that. name is different per input. – codeKnight Apr 23 '20 at 11:11
OK, then [`myObj.name[variable]`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4244896/dynamically-access-object-property-using-variable) – VLAZ Apr 23 '20 at 11:11
I can't. for example: one input will be: ```{ name1 : { value1: "a", value3: "b" }}```and another input will be: ```{ name2 : { value1: "a", value3: "b" }}``` – codeKnight Apr 23 '20 at 11:15
OK... 1. That wasn't clear from the question 2. what's the problem with using the variable elsewhere `obj[whateverTheNameIs].value1`? – VLAZ Apr 23 '20 at 11:17
got it now - thanks !! – codeKnight Apr 23 '20 at 11:22
