You already have "a" in the previous loop, so couldn't you just

Set Variable: "a" = 0

    Loop While "a" < 8

    Set Property ("/br" & a, X Position) = getproperty("/br" & a,_x) - 2

    Set Property ("/br" & a, Y Position) = getproperty("/br" & a,_y) +

((a/30) * 58)

    Set Property ("/br" & a, Alpha) = getproperty("/br" & a,_alpha) - 5

End Loop


I think that would work.
