Hello all,

I am having some issues dynamically creating/naming variables. I’ve seen plenty of posts on this for prior AS versions. But how the heck do I go about this in AS 3? I’m certain that this is wrong but I am looking to go about it some way similar to this:

```auto
var i:Number;
var _i:*;
for (i=1; i<11; i++) {
var _i:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
}

```

I am certain that the wrongness of this code will make some of you cringe. But please forgive my ignorance as I try to work through this. I am just trying to streamline my code a bit.

Thanks in advance.
