For loops and arrays

I’m new to programing.
I’m trying to use a for loop to repeat the code below 8 times with numbers 1 through 8. As in object1, object2 etc.

object1 = new Sprite;
object1.x = 120;
object1.y = 120;
object1.buttonMode = true;
addChild(object1);

I don’t quite have the hang of using for loops yet. this doesn’t work

for(var i = 0; i < 8; i++){
object+i = new Sprite;
object+i.x = 120;
object+i.y = 120;
object+i.buttonMode = true;
addChild(object+i);
        }

can someone show me how to do this.

thanks
