root aray?

[panddpictures]

can you use the root as an array to access objects?
eg in flash this would work:

thing1="hello";
i=1;
trace(_root["thing"+i]);//outputs hello

No, not in ffish script. You will have to use the "FlashPlayer.getVariable" method

var value = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.thing" + i);

so what about for a variable called thing1 that was inside the ffish script and not the actionscript.
becuase I want code that uses a for loop, and runs for lots of variables.

You can define an object and set the variables as properties of the object

var x = new Object;
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
	x["thing" + i] = "thing" + i;
}

trace(x.thing100);
