I have an array called: "additions_colorizing_items". It has objects inside it, as seen below: 

    var additions_colorizing_items = [
    '',
    {
        "name": 'viking_helmet',
        "actual_name": 'Viking Helmet',
        "rows": 4,
        "first_color": '#ED2C2B',
        "started_color": 4,
        "type": 'H',
        "type_in_words": 'head',
        "have_shadow_now": 'always',
        'need_shadow': false
    },
    {
        "name": 'hard_hat',
        "actual_name": 'Hard Hat',
        "rows": 4,
        "first_color": 1,
        "started_color": '#F6EB56',
        "type": 'H',
        "type_in_words": '',
        "have_shadow_now": 'always',
        'need_shadow': false
    }, ....]

The problem is that $.inArray function doesn't work in this case: 

this_id = 'viking_helmet';
alert(additions_colorizing_items[$.inArray(this_id, additions_colorizing_items.name)].actual_name);

The goal is: turning name to actual_name from the same object inside the array for example: viking_helmet -> Viking Helmet
