Can an instance/movie clip name be an array? 1

[CGann]

I've got some text and picture areas that I'd like to populate dynamically (i.e. 4 headings with associated photos) Rather than hardcode them, can I make the instance names arrays? like movie clip name "picture[0]"?

for example, why doesn't this work...
picture_[4].loadMovie("images/" + storyImg[j], 1);

but this does...
picture_4.loadMovie("images/" + storyImg[j], 1);

BTW: iyo- what is the best book for learning more about flash & actionscripting?

var pictures:Array = ["picture_1", "picture_2", "picture_3", "picture_4"];
this[pictures[3]].loadMovie("images/" + storyImg[j], 1);[/tt]
