FLASH: Variable Vs. Value of a Variable

[David Pascual]

I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem.  The setup:

I have two variables:

fruit1, fruit2

The value of fruit1 is "apple"

the value of fruit2 is "orange"

I have a third value called "totalfruit"

It's value is 2


At times I will have more fruit variables. The totalfruit value is the only way for me to know how many "fruit" variables there are.  I want to output the value of all the fruit to the trace window, so I set up a loop:


Set variable: "i" = "1"

Loop While( i <= totalfruit)

Trace("Test - the value of fruit"&i&" is:")

Trace("fruit"&i)

Set variable: "i" = "i" + 1

End Loop


The trace window, of course actually dispalys "fruit1" or "fruit2" depending on i.  I am trying to get it to display the VALUE of fruit1, or fruit2.  Essentially I'm trying to figure out how you display/manipulate the value of a string combined with a variable, two strings combined. etc. In another language the code would look similar to fruit(i).value


Any suggestions?  Thanks very much for any help-
