Any way to reference sprites using variables? [SOLVED]

Hi!

Say I want to create one of several sprites, depending on the value of a parameter. Then, I also want to move said sprite and do other stuff with it.

Is there a way to build this into a function that would take in a string as the name of the sprite to create/move etc?

As you can see from the pic, currently I just repeated the process, changing the sprite each time...(not very elegant/efficient)

Thanks :-)

Thanks!
