get properties treating variable as literal

Ok, this is an easy one. Applescript treats my variable in a "get" as a literal. I thought the lack of pipes would prevent this. However, there's something else I must be missing. I searched the archives, but he suggestion of using (| & variable & |) doesn't work either. thanks for any help.

on verifyUniqueIDs(newPreferencesArray, currentPreferencesArray, uniqueKey)

if (currentPreferencesArray is not equal to {}) then
set currentUniqueKeys to {}


-- How can I get the "get" to read the value of uniqueKey, not as a literal

repeat with aPreferenceObject in currentPreferencesArray
copy (get ( uniqueKey) of aPreferenceObject) to end of currentUniqueKeys
end repeat


	else
		set currentUniqueKeys to {}
	end if

	return currentUniqueKeys
end
