quick AS var name help

[mlk]

function changephoto(photonumber) {
for (i=1; i<9; i++) {
_root.backgroundd.["im"+i].gotoAndStop(photonumber);
}
}


why doesn't this work ???
(ie the function is supposed to go to a special frame in each im1..im2..im3 of the backgroundd MC...

but the debuuger tells me:


Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 5, Frame=1: Line 5: Expected a field name after '.' operator.
_root.backgroundd.["im"+i].gotoAndStop(photonumber);

There's no dot before the []:
function changephoto(photonumber) {
for (i=1; i<9; i++) {
_root.backgroundd["im"+i].gotoAndStop(photonumber);
}
}Theer's an excellent thread by Senocular about that, but I can't find it for the moment :-\
