Create arrays from array!

Hey guys,
tryign to use something liek this:


var section:Array = new Array();
section = ["a","b","c"];
for(item in section){
    _root[item]= new Array{}
    
    }

to create array objects from each item in the ‘section’ array, basiically giving me

a= new Array;
b= new Array
c = new Array

What am i doing wrong here?!
