I'm new to processing, but have a lot of experience with actionscript.
Now I want to load some images into my processing file.
Normaly you would do something like this:

Code:

PImage img1;
img1 = loadImage("file1.jpg");
image(img1, 0, 0); 

But I need to load in a bunch of files and I would like to use a for loop to do this.
In actionscript, I would do something like this (the 'for' part):
Code:

for (var i=1; i<=amount; i++){
PImage this["img"+i];
this["img"+i] = loadImage("file"+i+".jpg");
image(this["img"+i, 0, 0);} 

Can I make variables with 'combined' names in processing?
( like
Code:

int a = 1;
String ["img"+a] = "foo";
print (img1);//outputs "foo";
 

Thank you for the answer

Can you maybe tell me what
Code:

PImage[] images=new PImage[5]; 

means? Does the [] behind PImage means its an array of PImage objects? (so; images is an array of 6 PImage objects?)

Okay, I thought 0 through 5

Thank you, this was most helpful.
It takes some time to get used to the processing syntax
