how to pass string as variable actionscript 2

Question

Say I have these variables

var word1 ='wordA';
var word2 ='wordB';
var word3 ='wordC';
var word4 ='wordD';
var word5 ='wordE';

and I have this loop

for (var i=1; i<6; i++) {
    // make word + i = ''; (an empty string)
}

how would I go about doing so using Actionscript 2?

Try this:

for (var i=1; i<6; i++) {
    this[ "word" + i ] = ''; (an empty string)
}

Ah, it works. I normally code in Javascript and use $(this) when using Javascript selectors, I find it strange that 'this' in actionscript can be used this way. Interesting.. anyways, thanks.
