Hi Everybody,

As previously written :
I want to generate a list with some specific data
everytime I create a
sprite.
The name of the list should always be like list1, list
2, list 3 and so
on...where the number corresponds to the sprite number
which is stored in a
variable say count.

so basically i need to create a variable name like
listname= "list" & string(count)

then this listname should be assigned a list
listname= [blah, blah, blah..]

now obviously it is a problem here as i first assign
the variable listname a
string and then a list.
-----------------------------------------------------
As per one reply that I got I can use 'do' command to
create variables at
runtime and to set values  to them like this:

repeat with spritNum = 1 to 10
    do ("list" & spritNum & "=" & [Naam, Wsize, extn,
mtime])
    blah blah
end repeat

where Naam, Wsize, extn, mtime are all variables with
some values
So i did it and it works . I can check it if i trace
it in  the message
window. The problem now is that since (as per the
almost negligible
documentation that i found about the 'do' command )
this only works when i
assign a value, i am not able to retrieve values from
the list the same way.

so something like
    do (put "list" & spritNum )
doesnt work...

can somebody tell me how can i retrive values from
these lists that i
generate at runtime ???????????????
Thanx a lot for any help as this is a real problem for
me at the moment.
