I'm not sure about dynamic variable names... However it sounds like you could utilize parent scripts for this. What you do is make a parent script like this:
property variableName property value on new(me, iVariableName, iValue) variableName = iVariableName value = iValue end Then whereever you need a new variable then write: addtodatastructure = new(script "scriptname", "variable1", "value") What you will need to do is build a data structure to house all these variables. Could do a list but searching would be slow. I'm not sure if this helps and I am a little unclear what exactly you are trying to do, but this is a good way to house a dynamic amount of data; objects stored in expandable data structures.
