Is it possible to have dynamic sprite names? For example if I am constructing a tile map from an array how can i give each sprite object a different name and referense it later?

in actionscript you could just do  
attachMovieClip(“blah”+i+"\_"+j…  
and reference it with root[name]

how could I achieve this with actionscript 3?
