I had a variable 'pObject' which contained the name/id of an image.

'put tData into pObject' would just throw the data into a variable 
called pObject, so rather than using a slower 'do...', I wanted the 
property name to set.  One of those times where the intuitive way just 
wouldn't work - unless, of course,  there's an easier way.
