[Javascript] dynamic variables names

[christ at saeweb.com (Chris Tifer)]

Ok, I'm also very adept with ActionScript, so this works in the same manner.

If you had a movie on your root named "nt_o1", then you could reference it
the same
way:

_root["nt_o" + intCount].gotoAndPlay("startAnimation")

You're referencing the same way.  That movie clip named "nt_o1", etc are all
an array of objects (collection) of the _root

Hope that clears it up a little more.

You'll learn a lot here as long as you ask enough questions.
