Hi,  
There isn’t any error displaying. I traced the “rectAry[1]” and it’s “undefined”

When I change the variable “i” inside the statement to 3 or other values,  
the instance will be displayed probably.

```auto

package
{
      import flash.display.Sprite;
 
      public class testClass extends Sprite
      {
            private var rectAry:Array = new Array();
            public function testClass():void
            {
                  ...
                  for (var i:Number; i<5; i++)
                  {
                        rectAry* = new rectangles();
                        addChild(rectAry*);
                        rectAry*.x = 30;
                  }
                  trace(rectAry[1]);
            }
      }
}

```

I’m new to actionscript, Thanks for help!
