Hey Gang, I’m trying to make some dynamic movie clips, with a drawn rectangle inside a for loop. But I can’t figure out if an MC can be named like an Array. How close is this?

```auto

function init(e:Event = null):void
{
    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

    var guideBox:Array;

    
    for (var i:int = 1; i < 10; i++)
    {
        var nextXPos = i*(boxWidth+boxMargin);

        guideBox* = new MovieClip();
        guideBox*.graphics.beginFill(0xff1111);
        guideBox*.graphics.drawRect(nextXPos, 0, boxWidth, boxHeight+boxMargin);
        guideBox*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doButton);

        addChild(guideBox*);
        

    }

```
