Is it possible to create variable variables in AS? For example…

for (i=0; i\<5; i++){  
var “variable”+i = i\*10  
}

That code totally doesn’t work but if it did you’d end up with five variables like this:

variable0 = 0  
variable1 = 10  
variable2 = 20  
variable3 = 30  
variable4 = 40

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.
