I think I have to stumble into every newbee pit and I think I have read a
similar thread, but don't find it anymore.
I have multiple images on a page which I gave numeric names to be able to
process them in loops (that was my thinking).
If I address theses images as:
set the filename of image "
Hi again,
Naming objects with numbers is not really a good idea: this can
confuse Rev... and the programmer :-)
But you have many ways to achieve the goal:
Name each image with a name followed by a numeric suffix: "img1'.
Then:
repeat with i = 1 to the number of imgs
if the threeD of img (
I second Eric's suggestion. It also comes in handy for keeping track
of images/objects for different purposes, e.g. "thumb1", "main2",
"preview3", "temp4" etc.
Looping through and deleting all the 'temp' images then becomes very
easy.

Hi,
Another way is to just put all images in a category into a Group,
then to access the images do something like:
repeat with myIndex= 1 to the number of images in group "ThumbGroup"
set the threeD of image myIndex of group "ThumbGroup" to true
end repeat
Just change the layer (in the ID
Nice idea!
Thanks Tiemo

If the controls are already arranged in *other* groups that's not
going to work.

The recommendation to name objects starting with a letter and then a number
is simply a "must" because as others have pointed out there can be ambiguity
when referencing objects named with simply a number. Two additions to the
excellent ideas:
1) Remember that the object number always refers t
Using a space char is a personal programming choice, and certainly not a bad
one. My preference is to use a "0" as a pad character, especially for date
strings, object names, file names, and folder names.
Thus I use the less convenient form of
put columnName & ( char -2 to -1 of ("0"& i) ) int

Just a caution that this may come back to bite you some day if (or

Good point Bill. Thanks for sharing!

certainly not a bad one ;-)

Hi Bill,
I understand you *must* specify the number of chars of the label
prefix that may vary in my solution and I understand also it might
bother you :-)
So:
function NumericSuffix pStr
local tCount

if pStr = empty then return "error: empty string."
