The simplest approach is to use a list. It's not clear from your
posting how you are creating these image objects, but you should do
something like this:
global biome
-- initialize to an empty list
biome = []
-- now add your first image object
newImage = member("arctic").image
append(biome, newImage)
-- however you create your other image objects
newImage = ??????
append(biome, newImage)
Until you have 9 image objects in a single global list.
Then, whenever you want to refer to an image object, you get that one
by indexing into the list:
biome[i]
For example:
global biome
on updateGlobe whichbiome
thisBiome = biome[whichbiome]
gGlobeCopy.copypixel(thisBiome, gGlobeCopy.rect, thisBiome.rect)
-- whatever this does??
end
