FLASH: F5 better actionscripting - looping question

[jmerrill]

I have an "improvement" question.  The following F5 actionscript works OK

for me:


var1 = otherVar1+name1+otherVar2+newline

var2 = otherVar1+name2+otherVar2+newline

var3 = otherVar1+name3+otherVar2+newline

var4 = otherVar1+name4+otherVar2+newline

var5 = otherVar1+name5+otherVar2+newline

var6 = otherVar1+name6+otherVar2+newline

var7 = otherVar1+name7+otherVar2+newline

var8 = otherVar1+name8+otherVar2+newline

var9 = otherVar1+name9+otherVar2+newline

combinedVars = var1+var2+var3+var4+var5+var6+var7+var8+var9;


However, I know this is not the most efficient way of doing this, and

comming from Authorware, I know this can be done with a repeat loop.  I

just don't know how to say it in actionscript.  Would it be something like,


n=1;

while (n<10) {

     var(n) = otherVar1+name(n)+otherVar2+newline;

     n++;

}


?  I know this isn't quite right, can someone see what I'm trying to do,

and point me in the right direction?


Thanks
