POUsing a variable in a statement to reference the image stored in a UIImageView

copied!<p>UPDATED Scroll down to see the question re-asked more clearly.... If I had the name of a particular UIImageView (IBOutlet) stored in a variable, how can I use it to change the image that is displayed. I tried this, but it does not work.</p> <p>I'm still new to iphone programming, so any help would be appreciated.</p> <pre><code>NSString *TmpImage = @"0.png"; NSString *Tst = @"si1_1_2"; TmpImage = @"1.png"; UIImage *sampleimage = [[UIImage imageNamed:TmpImage] retain]; ((UIImageView *) (Tst)).image = sampleimage; // This is the line in question [sampleimage release]; </code></pre> <p>RESTATED:</p> <p>I have a bunch of images on the screen.... UIImageView *s1, *s2 ,*s3 etc up to *s10 <BR> Now suppose I want to update the image each displays to the same image.<BR> Rather than doing<BR> s1.image = sampleimage;<BR> s2.image = sampleimage;<BR> :<BR> s10.image = sampleimage;<BR></p> <p>How could i write a for loop to go from 1 to 10 and then use the loop var as part of the line that updates the image.<BR> Something like this.<BR> for ( i = 1; i <- 10; ++i )<BR> s(i).image = sample; // I know that does not work<BR></p> <p><BR> Basic question is how do I incorporate the variable as part of the statement to access the image? Don't get hung up on my example. The main question is how to use a variable as part of the access to some element/object. <BR><BR></p> <p>Bottom Line... If I can build the name of a UIImageView into a NSString object, How can I then use that NSString object to manipulate the UIImageView.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
