use the value() function.
i don't really get what your variables are holding, or whether the final
globals want to be strings or integers, so i can't be more specific, but
i think that's what you need.
for example,
mysprite = ("ptTextSprite_Left"&whichLine).value
where whichLine = 2, and there's a property ptTextSprite2 which equals
sprite 23.
using whichline as an integer variable, i can get the value of the
property named the same as the string i build...
mysprite = 23
hope this helps,
bhakti
