Thanks for your reply jj.

I'm not sure if that is what I am looking for. It could be better described with an example: My program is going to get 100 numbers while it is running (say from the user). I need to save all 100 numbers. Instead of defining 100 variables outright I want my script to create a new variable every time it receives a new number. Thus my program would start with 0 number variables and end with 100 variable numbers.

Any insight is appreciated,

This just screams array (uh, I mean list) to me. You may even be able to allocate it dynamically, but I don't have enough experience with AS to help much there.

I would think of doing something like declaring an array (dang, I mean list again. Can you tell I'm a C/Java trained fool?:), and dynamically allocating each element as needed. I would think that possible, but I haven't tried it myself.

Just hoping to plant a seed here, I may have missed the point entirely (if so, I apologize).
