Dynamically creating Variable NAMES in AS3

[bsyapril88]

The idea is to use a loop to create a set of variable names. The forums have figured out how to do this in AS2. Is it possible in AS3?

This works in AS2…

for(var x=0; x<3; x++) {    
this["var"+x] = x;
}
trace(var1); // 1
trace(var2); // 2
