</div>

```auto
var labels:Array = new Array("label 1", "label 2");
for (var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++) {
   myItem+* = new ContentMenuItem(labels[0]);
   myItem+*.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, doSomething);
   myCustomMenu.customItems.push(myItem+*);  
}

```

Possible? I want variables to end up myItem0, myItem1, etc.
