How can I create variable variables in ActionScript

Question

I'm doing this

mcomp7d101.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("javascript:Compartir("+id7d101+");");
}

mcomp7d102.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("javascript:Compartir("+id7d101+");");
}

mcomp7d103.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("javascript:Compartir("+id7d101+");");
}

mcomp7d150.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("javascript:Compartir("+id7d101+");");
}

you get the idea :)

How can I use a for loop to do something like:

for(ii = 101; ii < 150; ii++)
{
    mcomp7d+ii.onRelease = function() {
    getURL("javascript:Compartir("+id7d+ii);");
    }
}

I'm getting a syntax error. It seems that I can't create variable variables in compiled languages.

You can use the following syntax:

for(ii = 101; ii < 150; ii++) 
{ 
    this["mcomp7d" + ii].onRelease = function() 
    { 
        getURL("javascript:Compartir(" + this['id7d' + ii] + ");"); 
    } 
}

Guess, you not totally correct: getURL("javascript:Compartir('id7d" + ii + "');"); this will pass string to "Compartir", but he needs to pass value of id7d101 variable to all functions. Leave like this: getURL("javascript:Compartir(" + id7d101 + ");");

Thanks for the correction radistao. I think it would probably be this then getURL("javascript:Compartir(" + this['id7d' + ii] + ");");
