Re: Newbie Help with loops

you got some motion on the prob, I did not grasp the whole reply but
the next thing is - since you want to change the name but indexing
might get screwy what you end up with is List | List inside "same
object one of which stays the same to ref imageIndex values and the
other moves around so that you can change the name without losing
pointers into the main do-Hicky { that's a computer science term }

then what you are stuck on is you are not calling onClick()

the "machine" is calling onClick()

then you just think about where you want the machine to go and write a
path for it then when you get that working you can throw whatever
the .js honchos want you to try throwing at it
