Accessing a Record by variable

Hello:

I'd like to be able to access an AS record using a variable.

set aMth to "Feb"
set theMths to {Jan:"1", Feb:"2", Mar:"3", Apr:"4", May:"5", Jun:"6", Jul:"7", Aug:"8", Sep:"9", Oct:"10", Nov:"11", Dec:"12"}
set mthNum to aMth in theMths

what I'd like to get is --> 2

I'm astonished this doesn't work. Is there an elegant alternative?

Thanks and have a good day: Douglas Wagner
