I have this:

```auto
function onAdd(e:Event){
            switch (getQualifiedClassName(e.target))
            {
            case "Symbol0":
            e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
            break;
            case "Symbol1":
            e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
            break;
            case "Symbol2":
                e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
                break;
            case "Symbol3":
                e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
                break;
            case "Symbol4":
                e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
                break;
            default:
            }
        }

```

but i want to do something like this:

```auto
for (var i:Number=1; i<=5;i++){ 
switch (getQualifiedClassName(e.target))
          {
            case "Symbol" + i:
             e.target.filters = [AdjustColorMatrix];
             break;
}
      }

```

Is there a way?

Thanks!
