[Javascript] Defining the Name of a Variable at Runtime

[Dan Costea]

I don't think it is possible (but I don't know for shure). But you can do a
little trick: define a global variable:
var arrGlobalImgs = new Array ();
Then, when you whant to create a runtime variable, you write:
arrGlobalImgs[ "a" + i ] = new Image( 214, 39 );
When you want to call it, you will write: arrGlobalImgs[a2] (for example).
