Is there a better way to write this. I'd like to create a variable that was incremented until it hit a certain number, but then also be able to use that variable to be part of the data call. For example variable 'num' would be added onto 'sliderImage' to make 'sliderImage + num' for sliderImage01, num would increment and then I'd get sliderImage02, etc.

I know how to make the variable and I can probably figure out how to increment it, but how to I integrate it with the [@alias = 'sliderImage01'] part???

Thanks in advance.
