Dynamically set a global variable?

[SpitSpitSpitty]

I'm trying to dynamically change values for a set of global variables and I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible.

The global variables are:

_global.item1_
_global.item2_
_global.item3_
(up to)
_global.item7_

This is the best idea I can come up with that doesn't work.

for (n = 1; n <= 7; n++) {
	if (eval("item" + n + "_") == "new") {
		set(_global["item" + n + "_"], "clear");
		trace("item1_ = " + item1_);
	}
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Went hunting and figured it out!!!

	
for (n = 1; n <= 7; n++) {
	if (eval("item" + n + "_") == "new") {
		set("_global.item" + n + "_", "clear");
		trace("item1_ = " + item1_);
	}
}

I didn't realize I could put the "_global." inside of a string and it would work... silly me!
