Ok, maybe try an associative array? I haven't tried binding to properties of one of those though.

Could you skip the variables entirely and just use an ArrayCollection?

The this[ 'myVal'+i ] idea was already proposed to me. I guess what i'm looking for is a way to store the reference to the bindable value in an array so that i can access via an array integer index rather than using array access notation. Its is the same if i go, [code] [Bindable] var myVal:Boolean update( myVal ); function update( val:Boolean ) { val = true; } [/code] Again i get the evaluated value and not the maintained reference.

And aren't "primitive" data typed variables really literal values and not references? Hmm, if you can enforce a naming convention, you could do: function { for ( var i = 0; i<nSomeNumber; i++ ) { this["myVal " + i ] = true; } } (maybe a do while, instead of for?)

How can i achieve this result? Regards, Bjorn
