Reply #2 - Jan 1st, 2007, 12:19am   by "having different names" you mean variables holding them? i think you should rather look into arrays or Vector .. like: Code: class MyObj { MyObj ( int _i ) { println( "created #" + _i); } } MyObj myobjs[] = new MyObj[1000]; for (int i=0; i<myobjs.length; i++) { myobjs[i] = new MyObj(i); } F
