How would you approach this?

Say I wished to create multiple copies of a variable in a loop

such as:

var pots:String = thisString *

and then i wish to reference one of these loop generated variables

Now how would you set it up so you could have all those variables of “pots” had their own names so one could reference say: “pots1” “pots2” or “pots17” ?

This kind of situation would bee seen in a situation where I would be bringing in many array values and assigning certain parts of them to the variables. such as array*[name]

my first guess would be this, but it is not at all in syntax:

for (var i:int = 0;i<300;i++){

var "pots"+*:String = thisString*[2]

}

any ideas?
