I am new to programing.

I want to declare 8 variables at the class level like this:

```auto
     
private var graphicDesign1:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign2:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign3:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign4:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign5:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign6:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign7:Sprite;
private var graphicDesign8:Sprite;

```

But I would like to do it with a for loop. Is that possible? If so i’m doing it wrong this is what I have.

```auto

for(var i = 1; i < 9; i++){
            private var +"graphicDesign"+i:Sprite;
             }

```

Will someone show me the correct way to do this?

Thanks!
