I am trying to load multiple images but i am unsure as to which wild cards or syntax I can use with the loadimage command

I have many monster .pngs for the player to choose as their character so I want to load the images and give the player the ability to cycle through them to choose the one they want.

EX
p = New player
p.image = LoadImage("player.png", 1, Image.MidHandle)

So I plan to use a for next loop and increment p. now if I named my images 1.png
2.png

psuedo code

for t 1 to 10
Could I use
t.image = LoadImage(t".png",1,Image.MidHandle) 
or t.image = LoadImage(t + "png"1,Image.MidHandle) 
next

got it sorted here is the code for reference if any one needs it. It will allow a player to cycle through multiply png images named 1.png 2.png etc..

Import mojo

Class Game Extends App
	
	Field playerImage:Image
	Field created:Int = 0
	Field mx:Float
	Field my:Float 
 	Field p:player
	Field aload:Int =1
    
	
	  		
	Method OnCreate ()
		HideMouse ()
		SetUpdateRate 60
		
	    p = New player
	    p.image = LoadImage(aload + ".png", 1, Image.MidHandle)
		
	End
	  

	Method OnRender ()
		
		Cls 0, 0, 0						' Clear screen
		p.OnRender()  
		
	End

	Method OnUpdate ()
	
			p.OnUpdate()
	  		If MouseHit(MOUSE_LEFT) Then
				If aload < 40
				aload = aload + 1						
				p.image = LoadImage(aload + ".png", 1, Image.MidHandle)
				Else
				aload =1
				end				
			End If
	End
	  
	  
End

	


	
	Class player
		Field x:Float = MouseX()
		Field y:Float = MouseY()
		Field image:Image
			Method OnRender()
			DrawImage image, x,y, 1, 3, 3
			End
			
			Method OnUpdate()
			x = MouseX()
			y= MouseY()
			end
			

	End

If you look at gerryq/picpuzzle in bananas, you will see how it looks for as many images as it can find named pic001.png, pic002.png etc. (it's at start of OnCreate()).
