dynamic datablock creation

i want to be able to change the image map for a static sprite based on a field given in a behavior.

Now i know the t2dstaticsprite has the setImageMap function, and how to use it. The problem is that i want the datablock supplied to be dynamic.

I plan on having a large amount of possible images. So its not very ideal for me to have to manually create data blocks for each image. Especially when i have plans of expanding.

I would rather like just iterate through a directory, and for each image found in it, create a data block.

But creating a datablock, for me at least, only works on the bottom-most scope ( not in brackets )

This is something i want to do. Assume %files is an array of filenames

%count = 0
for(%i=0;%i<%count;%i++) {
   %file = getWord(%files,%i);
   %datablockName = fileBase(%file);

   // Create the dynamic datablock
   datablock t2dImageMapDatablock(%datablockName){
      imageName = %file; //required
      imageMode = full;
   };  
}

so then later on in my behavior code i can

if(!isObject(imageDisplayBehavior))
{
   %template = new BehaviorTemplate(imageDisplayBehavior);

   // ETC... Behavior stuff here
}

function imageDisplayBehavior::onLevelLoaded(%this,%sceneGraph)
{
   // change the image map
   %this.owner.setImageMap(%this.imageDatablock);
}

Can anybody point me in the right direction. I could write a small script for this in another language or such, but i was curious if there was a torque way.
