Stringing names on the hitTest actionscript

[king_of_turtles2002]

I was wondering how to string the MC names in the actionscripting for hitTest... for example i have this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest( _root.object ) {
_root.play()
}
if (this.hitTest( _root.object2 ) {
_root.play()
}
if (this.hitTest( _root.object3 ) {
_root.play()
}
}


can i make the MC name object a part of a string in the actionscript above? any help is great!!

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
if (this.hitTest( _root["object"+i])) {
_root.play();
}
}
}

like this you mean?
only flaw is your first object will be called "object0" not just plain "object"
