Loop with a variable name

loopName = "the_loop"

for loopName from 1 to 100 -> set object.X to loopindex(loopName)[/code:1g5ri6gq]

The problem here is that "loopindex(loopName)" is not accepted as a valid expression, even though "for loopName from 1 to 100" is possible

[b]----- EDIT: [/b]
Figured it out. Using str() on the variable name forces the expression to be accepted 
"loopindex(str(loopName))"
