Defining variables in a function

[jedhu0920]

Is it possible to define a variable inside of function where the actual variable name will change based on what parameters the function is called with? Take a look at this code:



//define the function
function attachVid(nc, ns, curVid, vidFile) {
//I want the nc on the left side of this variable assignment to change to "video1", the name coming from the command calling the funtion
var nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
//I want the ns on the left side of this variable assignment to change to "videoStream1", the name coming from the command calling the funtion
var ns = new NetStream(nc);
//The curVid part of the will be replaced with _root.my_mc1 (instance name of an embedded video object sitting on the stage), the name coming from the command calling the function
curVid.attachVideo(ns);
ns.connect();
//the vidFile part of this snippet is changed to "millersgap_med001.flv", the FLV name coming from the function call
ns.play(vidFile);
}

//call the function
attachVid("video1", "videoStream1", _root.my_mc1, "millersgap_med001.flv");


I am trying to make the net Connection and net Stream object unique each time the function is called because I am trying to play like 5 flv's on stage simultaneously. As far as I know, each video stream needs a unique net Connection and a unique net Stream object. But it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone see any problems with my code?

the word var is making the objects local to the function scope. This way, they are all gone as soon as the function ends its execution.
