so… im not real sure how to word what i am trying to do, hopefully the title is ok. anyways… i have a for loop and i want to do things with it:

for(i;i\<=2;i++){  
if(box+i.\_width\>20){  
var box\_width:Tween = new Tween(box+i, “\_width”, Elastic.easeOut, 750, 20, 3, true);  
var box\_height:Tween = new Tween(box+i, “\_height”, Elastic.easeOut, 350, 20, 3, true);  
var box\_X:Tween = new Tween(box+i, “\_x”, Regular.easeOut, 450, box+i+\_X, 1, true);  
var box\_Y:Tween = new Tween(box+i, “\_y”, Regular.easeOut, 400, box+i+\_Y, 1, true);  
};

the “box+i” in the tween doesnt work, and I dont know what to do to make it work. TIA
