Variable in object name

This question assumes that a set of objects already exist in the organiser with names such as Image1, Image2, Image3... etc. Is it possible in script to reference the objects using a variable as part of the object name, for instance via a for loop?

Thanks

The "eval" function can be used in this situation:

Code:

for ( x = 1; x <= 10; x++ )
{
  eval("Image"+x).Hide();
}

Be careful not to go too mad with eval - you can easily overcomplicate a solution that could be achieved with normal actions or simpler functions that take an object as a parameter.

Works a treat and saves 100 yards of code. Thanks.
