CasperJS: Iterating through URL's

Question

I\'m pretty new to CasperJS, but isn\'t there a way to open a URL and execute CasperJS commands in for loops? For example, this code doesn\'t work as I expected it to:

If you need to get context then use the example here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/casperjs/n_zXlxiPMtk

I used the IIFE (immediately-invoked-function-expression) option.

Eg:

for(var i in links) {
  var link = links[i];

  (function(index) {
    var link = links[index]
    var filename = link.replace(/#/, '');
    filename = filename.replace(/\//g, '-') + '.png';

    casper.echo('Attempting to capture: '+link);
    casper.thenOpen(vars.domain + link).waitForSelector('.title h1', function () {
      this.capture(filename);
    });
  })(i);
}

links could be an array of objects and therefore your index is a reference to a group of properties if need be...

var links = [{'page':'some-page.html', 'filename':'page-page.png'}, {...}]
