Hi all,

I’m having one of those moments where I can’t figuring out the simplest of tasks. And I’m presuming it’s just a silly syntax error on my part.

I’m calling a class that handles a nice lightning effect. And this is how I would initially set that up:

```auto
var l1:Lightning=new Lightning();

```

But I want to dynamically add a few more… using something like this:

```auto
for (var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
  var l*:Lightning=new Lightning();
}

```

Anything I try just returns various different errors (mostly syntax). I have no idea what I’m doing.

Any help, or a point in the right direction would be great.

Thanks

Mark
