How to create Sprite in while loop?

1

Hi,

Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
i’m trying to create sprites in a for loop.


while( i < linkNumber )
        {
            var link* = new Sprite();
            link*.graphics.drawRect( 0, 0, 50, 30 );
            addChild(link);
        }

I’m getting an error 1086.

Many thanks !!
