Need help generating variable name for timeout object

Question

Below is a function I am using to scale an object down and
then hide it. It works fine on just one object, but if I try to run
it on multiple objects at the same time, only the last object gets
scaled down. I believe this is because the timeout list only ever
has a single item in it, “ShrinkTimeOut”.
Does each entity in the timeout list need a distinct name?
And if so, how would I dynamically generate a name and save it so I
can kill the timeout object once the object has scaled down fully?

Now that you mention it, and I have a look, no - it doesn't:
//not sure of the order of parameters here:
function fShrinkLoop(mModel, aTimeout) {
//Creates a variable that contains the vector value of the
model's
scale (vector( 1.0000, 1.0000, 1.0000 )).
nScaleVector = mModel.getPropRef("transform").scale;
//Checks to see if the model is 1% or less than its original
size.
if (nScaleVector[1]<=0.01) {
//Makes the model invisible.
mModel.visibility = symbol("none");
//Kills the timeout object.
aTimeout.forget();
} else {
//If it is not, we scale the model down further and allow
the loop to
repeat.
mModel.scale(0.9);
