Dynamically instantiating objects using string name

Question

Hello to all.
This is probably an easy question, but I am wondering how I can dynamically create instances of an object in a loop using a string variable as the name.
The idea here is this:
               while (someBooleanVariable) {
                    int count = 1;
String objectName = "myObject" + count;
                    myObject objectName = new myObject; // How do I pass the objectName String variable as a name?
                    count++;
               } // End while
Of course this doesn't work - incompatible types, but the idea is that the code would create "myObject1," "myObject2," "myObject3," "myObject4," etc as long as someBooleanVariable = true using the objectName String variable.
I am new to this and appreciate any help and ideas.
Thanks!

There's been this outbreak of people wanting to dynamically name their variables -- is this some sort of scripting disease?It's always been around. Shoot, I remember suffering from it when I first started out, because it seems so, hm I dunno, necessary at the time. Eventually the newbie (me) realizes that the variable "name" means nothing, that reference is everything.
... and then I discovered maps, and names were useful again. :o)
