Help, Sprite problem

below are the fundamental code of drawing a sprite and place it on stage:

var list: Sprite = new Sprite ();
list.graphics.beginFill(0x333333);
list.graphics.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
addChild (list);

i’m trying make like 10 to 20 sprite to place it on stage, is there a way to create them in the form of an array or loop? so that i no need to use the “new” keywords 20 times?

or anyone know the shortest way to create them besides than just draw them on the stage?

i’m sorry on my question, I’m actually want to create 20 sprite with 20 instances name so that i can place them on the stage in the position i want and interact with them

for simplification, can anyone show me the code to make just 3 sprites without having to type

var sprite1: sprite = new Sprite();
var sprite2: sprite = new Sprite();
var sprite3: sprite = new Sprite();
